@Acidscherrie I'm not familiar enough with CAW (not at all really) to know what is and isn't normal for it. But if you like how the game looks in windowed mode, at least as far as clipping goes, you could use Windowed Borderless Gaming (free download) to get the fullscreen size with windowed mode functionality. It's also possible that the clipping has something to do with the resolution you're using, especially if your game uses a lower resolution than your monitor. But you'd need to play around with that more.
The fact that your processor is a couple years old shouldn't have anything to do with it. If the CPU is weaker, sure, that can affect the game. But the processor itself isn't doing any graphics rendering, unless of course your graphics card is actually a chip integrated into the CPU rather than a separate component. In those cases, it's also not usually about the age of the hardware so much as its overall strength.
At any rate, if you want to talk specs, feel free to post them. It's kind of hard to speculate without more information.
@puzzlezaddict How would I post the specs? Would that be through dxiag or located within the game like deviceconfig
@Acidscherrie A dxdiag would work, and it would be the most comprehensive look at your system, at least among the reports that can be posted without sharing personal information. You can run one and attach it to a reply here.

If you'd prefer, the first 40 or so lines of the deviceconfig (up to where the game options start) will list the essential components, as well as what the game thinks of them, e.g. whether your graphics card and its memory are recognized. Your user and machine names are around 25 lines down, so delete those if you want, but nothing else in the file is personal information.
