ram is running a bit slow but shouldn't really make a difference either
whats your pci-e slot version/ motherboard model?

I will go cry in a corner if a 60 USD card is going to beat this thing that cost over 50% of my computer budget. I will only accept my defeat if OPs card is a furnace and requires water cooling.

With 3g of ram, and nvidia geforce 240 I can run max with 15-20 fps, if you spent 500 dollars on a graphics card and only get 2 fps at max, you have a very big problem. It sounds like you really got ripped off

Or there's could be another bottleneck in his hardware.

The store is legit + it was a few years ago. It probably doesn't help that I have a hexacore CPU @ 2.8GHz when Blockland only uses one core.

What other info do you need? I don't think the hard drive affects the performance that much.
