I keep upgrading my computer but it doesent seem to want to run any faster, playing CS:Source at any graphics level gives me very low FPS (usually under 20 at all times). I am getting so frusterated it's unberable. If someone could help me with what I need to upgrade so I can run games faster, I would be extremely grateful. I used 'Everest' to get some of my system information, here it is:
