Hello and welcome to the RPC Zathe!
S'anhu touched on a few of the key points of the RPC, so i'll just throw in that a good place to meet people out of character (if you decide to roll on Balmung) would be:

An out of character linkshell focused on getting people together, meeting new ones and all that fun stuff. On its third iteration you're sure to find some one here you'd like to meet in person.
The Gilgamesh version is:

I noticed you ran the bench mark and would like to add that its score as an example is decent but not ideal, and that due to a few reasons, including the HD4000s status as onboard (hence no VRam) you should make sure to have shadows and terrain effect eliminated those being some of the bigger resource hogs. I highly recommend retaining some particle effects. (This mainly due to some abilities from enemies being telecasted via sparklies/glows ect, and not always a giant red outline.)
Hope you both have the chance to meet a lot of interesting people in Eorzea, and if you ever see me running about feel free to say hello!
