CPU is overclocked from your BIOS

for GPU, I use MSI Afterburner

check your driver panel, it may have built in OC tools there

You sound kinda mad. Get a new keyboard too xD

Keyboards?
More like: Get a new motherboard, CPU and DDR3 ram with a better PSU.

I got the processor and googled the specs, AM2 socket, know any places that sell processors with an AM2 socket?

Yeah, I've tried to use that. Everything is maxed out but I see no change in fps. My gpu is pretty funky though.

Core clock and memory clock were already all the way to the right when I first got it. Currently it's at 600 and 800.

buy a new one

You could do it for probably like around $600 $800 or maybe even less.

EDIT: You could make this system. Its a tad over $800 but it would last you a long long time. This is keeping in mind that you have a Power Supply, operating system, and a hard drive.

about how great of a computer could be built with ~$500?
I just would like to know

[Mr.jacksaunt]

I'm having an issue with my computer's graphics currently.
I have a Radeon 6755g2 (it's a 6750 and a 6600 shared memory card). When I'm playing a game like Arma 2 at high settings, my gpu will suddenly go to around 25% usage and I'll get pretty bad fps. I have no idea what is causing this. My temperatures are around 60 degrees Celsius when this happens. I have an HP Pavilion dv6.

[KoopaScooper]

I'd rather try and just use the 6750 instead of Hybrid CFX and see what happens.
