inb4 someone says the fx8350

 

Swap the 210 asap... that thing is nowhere near powerful enough...

 

I suggest nothing below a 750Ti/260X or equivalent...

Well, I'm getting an HD 5850 so that should be just fine.

 

Just out of curiosity, can you give that 210 a slight overclock and check for fps improvements?

 

Don't go too far though... (+1% to +2.5% on the core)

it's passively cooled, and I don't like over clocking. The factory probably put it at a safe clock right? Imma noob ;)

 

I'm guessing stock clocks...

 

don't overclock if it's passive...

 

and it's definitely the GPU... (Intel integrated HD 4000 is better than the 210)

The 5850 is heavily constrained by its 1 GB of VRAM and isn't especially powerful either these days. You could do a lot better.

Yeah. He could have a GT 210 or something.

:P Don't knock the 5000 series too much. The 5800s are still contenders, even with limited vRAM.
