Along with that GPU, get an SSD to put your OS and programs and, not only will your overall score go up, you will love how fast your machine will be.

The only thing I can think of is do you have the ram sticks in the correct slots? You should have both in either the Red or the black slots, not 1 in each colour otherwise it will not be running in dual channel mode.
The ram you have should be scoring mid 7s not 5.9 mate.
Stock speeds even the ran isn't running at rated
Haven't gotten around to messing in the Bios yet I'm learning Intel again :)
oh...
Yes I put both Rams in same color slots the black ones as I could not install on Slot 0 due to the CPU Cooler sitting there and the Ram heatsink is a bit tall in height Right now RAM's are in Slot 1 and Slot 3 for Dual Channel.. also it's just a 4GB kit (2x 2GB) so I think that's why the score is less or maybe due to sharing about 1800 video memory for Internal GPU if im not wrong
What speed do you get if you run winsat mem from a command prompt?
I doubt it would score that low even with 4GB, my father in law was running 4GB on Windows 7 64bit up until fairly recently when I gave him an 8GB kit and he used to score 7.8 (that was 1600MHz ram and on a first get i7 setup)
