Thanks for the welcoming!! Wanted to ask what would make it not reach its full potential ? Would overclocking the cpu help at all? sorry if I am not able to reply later on I'm currently in a public library.

Well the CPU isn't incredibly powerful so in CPU bound titles the GPU won't be able to do as much as it would with a more powerful CPU, like an i3, or i5. If your CPU is too slow your GPU will be slowed down by it.

Also overclocking should be able to help your situation out a bit, if you need help overclocking just start another thread on it :)

Wanted to ask if anyone knew if this cpu and gpu would be compatible together, because I am currently building a computer. My cpu is an AMD Athlon II x4 630 and my gpu is a  MSI GeForce GTX 760 4GB TWIN FROZR Video Card. I know the cpu is a little old but I was wondering if it would still work fine for the gpu I have.

It will work, however the GPU will not be able to reach it's full potential.
