I just upgraded my Graphics card and I'm not sure what i'm doing. Do i need to do anything the rest? I have a athlon ii x4 650 with 16 GB RAM. Computer seems to be running fine but how do i make sure it's at peak preformance?

Everything is working ok to the best of my knowledge. I no pro. I know just enough to get me in trouble. I need to learn more. I have no over clocking experience and i'd like to have it done. I want to get this thing fine tuned but don't know where to start. But at least i can play my couple Games on Steam now that i have good graphics

Yeah I'm also looking at a few threads (but I do not know for sure) that the CPU may hold back performance, so you may want to check the CPU/GPU usage when you're playing your games to see if that's happening.

while updating I seen a thread somwhere that there are custom drivers that you can get to get better performance out of the cpu. Something about not using the intergrated graphics. I don't even know what the cpu and gpu should be at. I always Play Space Fighter on Steam to check out my system after playing with it to make sure it's running well. I don't even know how to do a benchmark. I just downloaded Afterburner for the first time.
Oh and i have a question or two Can i upgrade my motherboard? I know i can't have a processor over 95 watts. Just thngs i haven't found out yet. I've owned this machine since 2012. I also seen that creating a ram disk may help but i haven't seen if it will for this process because i had no one to ask.

I'd recommend doing more research on overclocking just so you don't accidently damage something, and I don't know how to help you on your second question sorry. I would also make sure that those custom drivers aren't a scam. And also again, I'd recommend you check the CPU usage when gaming just to make sure it's not holding back the GPU (Afterburner should monitor that).
