graphics is fine and so is ram, but your cpu is a bit slow, probably upwards of 2.5 would be ideal. Also a 64-bit os helps if you don't already have one. A pc is only as fast as it's slowest component, and in this case, the performance of your cpu is letting down the gpu performance.

Your system looks like its 775 You can get a really cheap 2.9 for about 80
Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 Dual Core CPU I know I picked up my 2.4 E4600 for about 50 + VAT in the UK but the place I got it no longer sell it.

Over clocking is the cheaper option but a option I myself say ways from, but like tuanming says if you know how to do it and have a ok fan and airflow
in your PC then give it a blast.
