lets start off i have a pretty good pc but it cant even handle Half Life 1

i got my back in 2013 with low specs and i could run every game with high fps after it broke ive got a new mother board with the same graphics card wich ended up in i having low fps then after that we tought it was the graphics card so i now have a nvidea GTX 960 extra over clocked and games still run 10-20 fps


-specs-
Nvidea gtx 960
inter 2 qaud cpu 2.40 ghz
windows 10 64 bit
8 gb ram
a msi g41m -p33 combo mainboard (not the best i believe)

it would be nice if someone could help me



extra notes: no heat problems i farmatted my hard disk and reinstalled all drivers etc so thats not the problem and yes ive benchmarked.


btw sorry for bad english

It's your CPU. It's HEAVILY bottlenecking your GPU, so the GTX960 can only work with like 20-30% of it's real power.
You'll need to get a new CPU and then your system should run pretty much anything just fine.

thank you thats all i needed to read/hear. we were already thinking it was the cpu as in the benchmark report shows it has the lowest rating

Although a q6600 should be able to play hl1/hl2 variants very comfortably, which would suggest something else is at fault? q6600 should be able to play bf4 at around 30fps on lowest (at least mine did before upgrading), but I think it is safe to assume that upgrading the cpu/mobo will fix your issue.

interesting cpu benchmarks in bf3, can give you some idea of how much what you are buying will give you.

Id try to get an i5, so you wouldn't have to worry about your CPU for quite a while. If newer generations (6th/4th) are a bit pricey try to look for a 3rd/2nd gen one. These won't bottleneck your GPU.
