Your CPU is very weak compared to modern CPUs.
Passmark CPU Mark scores:
Core 2 quad Q6600 - 2988
Core i3 4460 - 6739
Core i5 4590 - 7202

The CPU will be OK in some games, but it won't cope well with online multi-player games, strategy games, or other CPU intensive games like Skyrim.

If you only have one monitor I recommend using MSI afterburner/rivatuner along with HWinfo to display system information on screen while your gaming. Just do a quick google search and you will find tutorials to get it set up. What I recommend you look at are your temperatures/core clock/usage.
