Your graphics card is fairly fast, and your cpu is fairly slow. Go to amd's website and download the latest driver here:http://support.amd.com/en-us/download
What power supply are you using? It might not have enough juice. Look at the label on the side of it

Downloading the software now
I am currently using a cool master 500 power suplyAwesome. Does it look like this?

If so, the software should fix it. Tell when it's done. Before that, go into device manager, display adapters, right click, and uninstall.

Yeah thats the one
Awesome, your set. Just keep in mind the motherboard/cpu is the bottleneck, so when you have the chance, upgrade the motherboard to a ga78lmt-usb3 and the processor to a fx4300. Download almost done?
Will do
once i get some spare cash. Will the ddr3 i currently have go into this new mother board? Yeah its downloaded and now installing

Yep. The ddr3 will almost definitely work. Also, actually go with the 6300 and not the 4300. Maybe before that buy a cooler like the hyper tx3.

also, is your case decent? If it fits your motherboard now, it'll fit that. So just maybe in a few months upgrade case or something.
