The problem will be your cpu... AMD 2600+ It is bottlenecking your new GPU, you will need to upgrade that to improve performance....

Run this.

CPUID

and post the info in the summary tab.... A screenshot would be best.....

Welcome to TechIMO by the way....

More bad news.... You are on a very old and dead cpu socket, to make things worse they never made dual core cpu's for that socket AFAIK (feel free to prove me wrong shy ).

You will need to upgrade cpu, mobo, and RAM.
