You can give up at this point . Both of them are CPU & GPU intensive games
Even a Core i7 @ 2.4GHz is considered as poor CPU for those games
For the best gaming experience , i5 3570k @ 4.2GHz (or i5 2500k @ 4.5GHz) is recommended
Either Nvidia GTX 650 or AMD 6870 will do 1080p

Give me some info about your PSU (Power Supply)
150-200$ GPU eat alot of power . If your PSU does not provide enough power , your mobo & GPU & HDD will die off soon

It seems the mobo is OEM product . Therefore , you can't overclock CPU via bios

thanks for the response. now I know exactly what I need - to start over and spend some $$ on a new rig. In the mean time I think I'll play them on my Wii U

or I could get a new mobo, i-3570k, power supply, and amd 6870 and build new pc from there, but alas I have other priorities for now.
