What CPU do you have in your PC? How much RAM is installed? And, just for good measure, what is the make, model, company, and wattage of your power supply?

Yeah, that configuration should be good to go with no limitations. What resolution are you playing at?

I would recommend using the program Driver Fusion (new version of Driver Sweeper made by the same people) as well as CCleaner to uninstall your display drivers completely, then installing the most up to date ones after that.

Make sure when you do this to uninstall everything first from the control panel, then reboot into Safe Mode after all is gone, and use Driver Fusion to do a sweep of the drivers also. Reboot back into Safe Mode again and run CCleaner's registry cleaner too, as I find it gets a lot of other stuff Driver Fusion misses. Reboot back into normal mode and install the new drivers.

Let me know how it goes!
