Because as it is, your CPU is too slow, and is a reasonably old architecture.

You seem to like that setup very much, why don't you build it and get it over with already
i don't have the money unfortunately :/
Oh OK
Well a setup like that isn't that expensive so it can't take long to save up for it.
I want that set up, but my computer is too new to justify replacing the mobo and processor. The only option would be to sell them, and my brothers can't afford it, and my dad is satisfied with a pentium d, and no one who'd buy second hand components without the case and hard drive would want mine, as it's barely cheaper than a 2500k with z68.
I'll just have to wait 3 years until I can justify building a completely new computer.

I'd suggest to upgrade that CPU to a 2500K if you're willing to upgrade.
(paired with a P67/Z68 motherboard ofcourse)
My fault I was typing to fast. Yes I meant to say would I be able to play it.
If you can bear with half-speed then...
should I also look into buying a better gfx card with more memory or just really focus on a much better cpu?

I'd say CPU (which would also require a new mobo)
CPU, CPU, CPU. Always CPU, unless your video card is really garbage.
