I've made a custom computer setup including.

Motherboard : ASUS M4A87TD/USB3 RETAIL

Ram : KINGSTON KHX1600C8D3T1K2/4GX DDR3 4GB (2X2GB) PC12800 1600MHZ HYPERX T1 DUAL CHANNEL KIT

Cpu : AMD ATHLON II X4 645 3.1GHZ QUAD-CORE BOX

Hard Drive : WESTERN DIGITAL WD5000AAKX 500GB CAVIAR BLUE SATA3

Graphic Card : ASUS ENGTX460 DIRECTCU TOP/2DI/1GD5 1GB DDR5 PCI-E RETAIL

Power Supply : LC-POWER LC6550GP2 V2.2 550W SILENT GIANT GREEN POWER

Software : Windows 7 professional

I feel that something wrongs with my computer It can't play full graphics gtv iv on 1366 resolution which is the max that my screen supports.Also it seems that i have problems with games that have many players together like Heroes of new earth ,when a mass pvp occurs the fps drop to 25.Also with other games that mass pvp occurs.Also when my computer opens up and its on windows loading screen i can see white rails when it's about to launch to welcome screen

Is the power supply not enough? Any help appreciated

Whilst your power supply is not particularly great, I don't actually think this is the problem. At the resolution you are using, you will find that you are more CPU limited rather than GPU. I wouldn't be at all surprised if that Athlon processor was holding you back.

Also, you don't really want to be posting that you have a cracked version of Windows.

The 965 will be absolutely fine.

You really need to replace that psu with something better. I would suggest looking at Enermax or Corsair power supplies circa 500-600w.
