Hello Toad, I have noticed the PMC computer group banner in your banner, I would like to know how to join said group.

Be knowledgeable about building PCs and PC hardware or at least being willing to learn.

Also according to this:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications ... No=8526496
you have a 300w power supply
I would recommend upgrading to something over 500w as that is the minimum for a r9 270x and double check what psu you would need with this:

if the calculator says a number under the minimum for your graphics card get the wattage that the graphics card manufacturer suggests

I think a r9 270x would be a good choice.

I bought one, they are extremely good value for money and can play bf4 at ultra with a decent framerate.

Just to let you know, getting a second monitor slows down your gpu power.

What computer make and model is it? If you give us that we can find out how powerful the power supply (PSU) is.

Buy a Graphics Card!

Before I built my current PC, I used the family one with this card:

I do youtube as well and it never failed Minecraft while recording!

Check out the channel!

That doesn't affect the frame rate unless you're actually getting over the limit you set it to... The OP's set to 120, and he's getting 60. Setting it to Unlimited wouldn't affect anything unless he was getting >120 fps.

I'd say you should get a graphics card. What's your price range for an upgrade?

EDIT: Ninja'd!
