That just seems a little low to me; and I'm fairly sure that with only 3gb graphics and 8gb system memory, you will be running with your graphics setting somewhere in the middle, and pushing 50-60fps at best.

I know it takes a bit more money, but future-proofing yourself when it comes to getting a new gaming rig is ALWAYS a good idea. Computer tech advances so quickly that lower end machines will get left in the dust a lot sooner than most people would think. Before buying the Wal-Mart Wonder 'Puter, try taking a look at a pro PC retailer. A good one that I've reccomended to some of my friends is www.ibuypower.com.
I'm not sure but I checked reviews on other sites and it said the processor is actually very new. Also, FFXIV's native fps is 60, any higher than that and there are problems (search reddit to find the issues).Just want to avoid confusing things here. 50-60 fps is not low at all, it's the fps the game runs best.
