Your CPU is bottlenecking your GPU. Hence, you might be able to run it on medium settings without AA.
Upgrade your CPU, you'll notice a great performance increase.

Your RAM and GPU are also holding you back from playing this one, so I would suggest medium settings for good FPS. Also, overclocking is not recommended (at least by me) as it decreases the life of CPU. Also, it would need a good cooler.
