It's a couple of things.

  1. Gigabyte doesn't isolate their north/south bridges and USB buses like they should.

  2. Your RAM latency is high. It's a 10, you should be running 9 or better on a rig like this.

  3. The biggest thing is your hard drive. 5400 RPM is horrid.

  4. Your video card is 2 gig. If you're doing any gaming, you should have absolutely no less than 16 to 32 gig. Higher is better

Wait, 32 gigs of vram??! Because that's a lot of vram!

Sapphire - Radeon R7 350 2 GB Video Card

That's a PCIE 3.0 card. It uses GDDR5 which is good but that's far too little if you're doing anything except checking email, surfing phuks, and maybe youtube.

I was wondering if my video card was at fault. Any recommendations for a budget card that will play games that are a few years old with little difficulty?
