you should be looking at at least 5.2 - 5.9 on each component
Processor = 7.3
RAM = 7.3
Graphics Aero = 4.4
Grapics for 3d = 6.3
Harddisk = 5.9

Using 2 normal sata disks, one is 5200 and one is 7200 if I`m correct.

You may also want to try some obvious stuff like blowing the dust out of your box, especially around the GPU fan. GPU performance degrades significantly under heat
Going to try that now. However performance never been really good but it did get worse.
