Ive recently built a mid-high end gaming pc to mainly play skyrim and other bethesda games

 

After trying skyrim on high and fallout new vegas on very high both have occasional stutter or lag every 10 seconds extremely annoying ive tryed many performance mods changing settings a bit and none have really helped much

 

i also overclocked my gpu and i didnt see any improvement in my fps

 

Also according to MSI afterburner im getting

 

60-59 fps in buildings
60-30 outside

 

and it still stutters a bit while in buildings this is skyrim btw

 

SPECS:

 

CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 250
Mobo: ASUS M4A88T-M
Ram: 4GB
HDD: SEAGATE 500GB
GPU: POWERCOLOR ATI HD 6850
PSU: COOLER EXTREME POWER 500W

Skyrim loves fast processors, I think that fallout does too. A dual core is borderline for gaming these days.

be careful, it slooks like you a gpu heavy build there, which is good, but your cpu is too light. Overlcoking the CPU may cause the GPU to pull more power and i'm not sure about your PSU.

sorry to tell you, but that computer is not very good for playing CPU bound bethesda games. The only mid-high component in your specs is your graphics card.

do some research and overclock if possible, otherwise, if your mobo is AM3, upgrade to a phenom II

it probably still stutters slightly because of your cpu.
