I don't even know why, Before my upgrade yesterday, I had a crap AMD A600k APU or something like that, and a Gigabyte F2a55m, I believe. But anyways I could get pretty decent frames in some games like in ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead, at custom setting between normal and high graphics. Now with my Intel i5-4670 and my MSI B85m gaming motherboard, I cant even play on those settings. I have 2x4 gigs of Corsair Vengeance RAM, and an NVIDIA Geforce GTX 750 Ti graphics card. (Same RAM and graphics card as before.) On windows experience index Everything but my hard drive (which is rated at 5.9) is rated at 7.6. (My graphics card was rated at 7.2 but then I updated my drivers for it and it went up to 7.6.) Thanks for taking your time to read this. ANY possible solution would be accepted.

Yeah, a bad power supply could cause low performance, and any PSU packaged with a case is virtually guaranteed to be crap. Buy a good quality 550 Watt PSU if you want some headroom for future upgrades to your GPU.

I have a 450 Watt psu, which came standard with my old case, could this be a problem? Considering the fact that my old Mobo and CPU didnt require such a heavy amount of power like my new ones do. Maybe upgrading to a 500w or 650w would help?
And I do have alot more fans in this case.
