SaltLakeMormon Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) I have HORRIBLE lag while playing Skyrim, yet the specs on my computer are actually pretty good. I'm ordering a new graphics card (Sapphire Radeon R9 270X 2GB GDDR5) that is a fairly quality card. Also, it may be good to note that the thermal paste that I have applied to my CPU is homemade out of a mixture of tooth paste and vaseline, I've had it in there for a couple of days now. I just built this PC and I'm kind of new to all this, so tell me if I'm doing anything wrong. Here's my build specifications: CPU: AMD A6-6400K Richland 3.9GHz (overclocked at 4.19GHz) Socket FM2 65W Dual-Core RAM: Team Vulcan 8GB ( 2 x 4GB ) Motherboard: MSI A88X-G43 Military Grade OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit Power Supply: 600w Internal 110 V AC, 220 V AC Case: NZXT Source 210 Hard Drive: Seagate 1TB Desktop HDD SATA 6 GB/s 64MB Cache 3.5-inch SSD: SanDisk Ultra Plus 128GB SATA 6.0 GB/s 2.5 inch 7mm Height Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 6450 Edited June 6, 2015 by SaltLakeMormon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novem99 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Can't figure out what's your concern. Do you want to know if you did anything wrong with your build? Because It's too late, you already bought it. Do you wanna know why your game is lagging? Impossible to answer since you didn't mention your actual graphics card or mods your are using (or if you even use mods). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novem99 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 http://media.bestofmicro.com/7/M/315202/original/High-1920.png That should answer your question! Sorry to say but your specs are anything else but "pretty good"...maybe for Tetris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironbender800 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 My first "gaming" pc was on a 6670. And i could barely play with medium settings at 1080p. Understand you probably tried to build under a tight budget......but you definitely could have done much better. Crappy dual core cpu......and a super old weak graphics card which is the MOST important for gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
