Guys I upgraded my 7 year old PC to latest CPU.
I chose Gigabyte B85M D3H A mobo
G skill 8 GB dual channel RAM (4*2)
Intel core i3 4150 processor with integrated HD 4400 card
My hard disk is old Seagate 160 GB barracuda

I gave run test by latest drivers updates of intel and all others

I got on windows 7 experience index for 7.9 a low sub score of 5.2 for graphics
Individually I got

Processor 7.3
RAM 7.3
Graphics 5.2
Gaming graphics 6.5
Hard disk 5.7

I agree for hard disk. But for gaming graphics I am surprised. I expected graphics score to be more than gaming graphics at least a 6 score.
But gaming graphics got more. What is the point here. Whats the difference between both. How can I improve score of graphics to 6 and above. Plz suggest me.

Integrated graphics on motherboards have never been that great. You need to install your own card... Expect to spend about $200 for a mid-range card... don't get anything less than a GTX 960 or R9 280X/380.
