12 FPS? You probably need more RAM.
Try to download some RAM.

I sent the picture to my brother, who works in electronics and is a tinkerer, and even HE didn't know what it was. :P

Hmm, Earth I guess. Instead of being like me (Water Element, Frost Sub-element Power) he's a Earth Element, Electricity Energy Power. I'll draw a chart explaining how it works one day. It's a bit hard to explain to humans.

Oh crap, that was a somewhat-joke, but now I'm kinda obliged to do it. Fine, you'll have it. Probably. Some day...

This sucks, I can't draw for crap. Instead, I'll have to type it and hope it makes sense.
A Dragon can have TWO elements, one for its physical body, and the other for its Elemental Power (such as the Fire Breathing skill for the Fire Breathing Dragon).
However, both elements must be part of the same element or sub-element, with some exceptions.
For example: My physical element isn't water, but instead it's a sub-element of water, Frost (which is Water+Sub-temperature). My Elemental Power is the Freezing Breath, which is Frost+Water+Air (or: [Water+Sub-temperature]+Water+Air).
Now, in this case, my primary element is Frost. Since my body is Frost-based, I couldn't have Fire or any of its sub-elements as my Elemental Power's element. However, I could still have most of Water's sub-elements, such as anything which has a liquid state. The same goes with anything under the sub-element for sub-temperature (basically, anything which is Frost-based).
There is also more sources for a Dragon's powers than the only four base elements. There is an additional source which is the Energy Group. The Energy Group includes all that is an energy, rather than an element. For example, Electricity, Force, Shock...
So, a Earth-based Dragon could have a power combination of Poison (a sub-element of Earth)+Steam (combination of Water+Fire), which would result in a deadly poisonous gas cloud breath.
...There, hope you're happy now. I don't even know what I'm typing anymore... Hopefully you won't realize how that wall of text makes no sense and how lazy I was of not drawing an entire chart of Dragon elements and sub-elements...

this is very complicated.
can i be a d'oh dragon? sub power of donuts?

I could definitely see a game based around Dragons, maybe an RPG. You could customize your Dragon's elements. :P
Too bad I'm neither a programmer nor an graphics artist, so I can't make games.
I'm working on a little something in RPG Maker though, which I'll "release" on Steamgifts, probably. Still lots of work to do, but I should be done in the upcoming weeks. It's more like some kind of a test/demo than a game, being fairly short, but it's fun to work on anyways.
I can't say much more, the game's design/story has to stay a secret until I "release" it. :D

Built the beasty in 2010, only thing I've changed in it since is the GPU. Original was an HD5870 1GB. It's getting up in years and starting to show the signs of wear - some hardware starting to have faults or failures - so I've got a new build in mind, sitting in a wishlist over on Newegg. Plan to swap over to a Devil's Canyon i5 here, just trying to see if I can last until the new stuff all starts coming out and snag some nice price drops. Love this monster though, and I'll kinda miss it when it's finally dead and buried. It's been a wonderful machine, keeping me gaming in full HD at all high settings for 5.5 years now.

I heard somewhere that the Phenom II 965 was one of the most popular CPUs around that time and often considered one of the best from AMD. I love mine, although that 62°C max temperature is a pain sometimes. I'll be sad to part with it next year too. :(
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't get up to 62°C myself, but I have an aftermarket air cooler on it. I idle around 32°C and hit around 55°C under heavy load. I really don't see why 62°C would be "a pain" though. It's a perfectly reasonable temperature, and nowhere near the threshold for any CPU I can think of. If you were getting up around 95°C, then I could see it being a pain and cause for some concern, but 62° is totally fine.
But yes, getting to the first point, it was hugely popular during the time, as it was basically the only CPU that had been put out for a full generation that was decent competition for the Intel for gaming, and then was also basically the last AMD CPU that has been. The original Phenoms were a bit more of a flop, especially after the Athlon x2s kinda redefined shit for a while. Then the Phenom II's came out, and were within like 10% performance of equivalent grade Intel, but like 1/3rd-1/2 the cost. That made them super popular for any reasonable gaming machine - Spend $250 on a CPU instead of $500-1000.
Of course, since that point... AMD tried to reinvent the wheel a bit, and failed. Meanwhile Intel embraced the new pricing levels to great success, and have pretty much stomped AMD's face into the dirt at every turn with the higher end market segment. I kinda love my AMD, but I'm certainly not blinded by brand loyalty to the point that I'll buy an outright inferior CPU to support them. If I did heavy multi-threaded applications, maybe an FX would be great, but as a gamer the i5 is a clearly superior choice. Makes me kinda sad though. I guess it's about time I had an Intel again though - My last one was a P4 1.7Ghz in a box I built myself back in 2002, waiting for WinXP to come out.

The Bulldozers were bad, pretty bad, yes. The FX 8000 chips came back somewhat (they now tie with some more expensive i5s) and the APUs are a lot better for low-end gaming than even a cheap Haswell with Intel HD graphics, but that's it.
I hope that the new CPUs will live up to the expectations, but I doubt it.
I have a roughly 25 USD aftermarket cooler on my Phenom II, but I think it served its lifetime since it is keeping the CPU around 55°C with 50% load. Too bad it's impossible to find a socket AM1 compatible cooler these days.

I wouldn't bother with devil's canyon, wait for skylake. Since skylake will be on a new socket you wouldn't be able to upgrade your cpu without changing the motherboard again c:
With 1150 your only option would be devil's canyon and broadwell for just a small bump in performance
