not sure what settings to use, i've tried fiddling with them, have no idea what I should set them to. But i posted my specs.

You may want to make that CPU go faster.

And sorry to make you repeat the specs, I didn´t see them at first.

You can start with the options by posting here the game properties (right-click in game/Properties), the graphics and general configs.

If possible, post the options as screenshots.

How would i make the CPU go faster?

Overclocking. It´s simple and it won´t damage your system as long as it keeps running stable.

But careful! If you´re in a laptop, don´t do this! Now, if you´re on a desktop, you´re good to go.

Also take in mind that you have to speed up the fans since higher speed makes more heat.

Would there be risks and how would i check if its running stable? and i'm on a PC. also here is a screenshot

1- The settings seem to be good. But try this: Select OpenGL and then Vertex Streaming Hack. That should make the speed go up.

2- If you´re on a laptop, you have LOTS of risks when overclocking. There are still some risks when on a desktop, but the overheating chance gets kind of reduced (almost zero risk if you have good coolers).

PC can be laptop or desktop, so you may want to be specific.

3- To see if it´s stable after O.C., do the following:

Set a bit higher frequency (say 3.0 GHz). You save it in the BIOS and then let your PC boot.

If you select a very high freq., one too high for your PC, it won´t boot. If this happens lower it again until the system boots normally again.

Oh sorry, Desktop. I don't really do laptops lol. not as much power.

Is there a site where I could find out how to overclock? My step dad did it and his is insane. 32gb memory, 2tb hard drive, dunno the graphics card though.

I think there´s an article in a page called EHow.com.

To be honest, I only found the article in Spanish, but you can try to search the English version too.
