The Q6600 is your processor (cpu). Do some research on who manufactured your PC such as Dell, HP, etc.  Include some pics of your case interior and component listings if possible.  This would better inform the community of what your working with so recommendations could be made.  Also, wattage on your power supply (should be a sticker on it) would really be helpful as well ;)

 

 

Also, what are you using your PC for....gaming, general use, things like this would help also.....

Case: Silverstone SG09B Motherboard: MSI Z10 Morter M-ATX CPU: I5-6600K  Ram: Corsair LP 2400 DD4 16GB GPU: MSI RX 480 Storage: Seagate HDD Baracuda 2TB x2, Crucial M200 500GB SSD X2 (Raid 0)PSU: Silverstone Strider Gold 1000W w/PP05E Kit

@dragonballz Welcome to the world of PC gaming. Make sure you follow your own topics so you know when you get a reply. Next thing what is your budget/use/resolution and what is the specific model of your computer(should be a sticker on the side of the case)something around the lines of m9150f model #. You can even link us pictures so we know more about the computer inside and out. Since you are new do some research on the precautions of opening your PC, before you start poking around.

Don't worry to much. There should be a lot of dust build up then, before you start touching stuff you should pick up some compress air and a anti-static bracelet to be safe. Watch some videos about computer building. Do you know what resolution you will be playing at and What Operating system you have (Windows 7 32 or 64 bit). Sorry to hit you with so many questions.

Hi

Hi, Don't worry about me not seeing posts I followed this topic. So try and compress your posts to keep it less cluttered.

 

Tried to put pic on said they are to big :(

You can try to post them on Imgur then link them to them here. For the total war games what settings are we talking playable, because for Rome II and War hammer your processor is a little bit above the Minimum requirement. The things you would need to upgrade is the power supply and the graphics card and some more ram if you only have around 3GB. But looking at this it looks like it couldn't really keep up if they release more games.So it might be more cost efficient to just build a new system.
