Processor:AMD FX-6300 Vishera 3.5GHz (4.1GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 95W Six-Core Desktop Processor
4GB DDR3
EVGA 01G-P3-1302-LR GeForce 8400 GS 1GB 64-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card.

Where am I lacking?

Video card.

I knew it. So should I try the cross fire two average video cards or do I have to spend like $200 on a new card?

Not sure breh, you're trying to use a 7-8 year old card in 2013.

Perhaps drop the reso to 720P, or lower the details,

As far as which card to get, it doesn't have to be $200. You can get previous gen cards that are many times more powerful than that 8400 in the $150 range, even less. All depends on what you want to spend and what settings you are comfortable with.

I want the high res settings

 

[radio rahiem]

Get at least a Radeon 7850 or GTX 660.

I want the high res settings

i have a gtx 560ti and it runs everything nicely...you may have to scale back things like Anti-aliasing but other than that it's a great video card and it holds down the fort.

the card you have now is :shyt:...i have been where you are now and no matter what you do with the settings it's not gonna change the fact that the hardware is not up for the task.

i want to upgrade my video card but i'm gonna wait about 6 months to do so.

 

[Ciggavelli]

Has anybody upgraded to an ssd? Is there any painless way of doing it? shyt, it sounds like a 2-3 day job no matter what.

Edit: fukk SSDs man. It can't be worth all of this fukking hassle

 

[2gunsup]

Still have the 1x Primal Carnage keys to give out. Also, have 1x Dirt Showdown key I'm giving out. First come first serve brehs.
