I'm not the most tech savvy in the world(unfortunately), but i've been noticing recently that my computer has been struggling to run some of the newer games. (It's a couple years old, I kind of expected it.) I'm now looking to make some upgrades so that I can get back up to 60 frames on everything and have benchmarked my computer. A lot of the components seem to be running a lot slower than they should be. I'd greatly appreciate any help on upgrades and or what I could do to resolve this issue! Thanks!

I vacuumed most of the dust out of my case and restarted my computer then ran another test. Looks like this now: http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/2457070
 
Solution
It ran slower the first time because you had 40% background CPU usage. You restarted your PC and it killed all the background processes and ran better the second time, though it still had some background usage going on.
