And I think that is the problem..... well mostly. If you had a better CPU, maybe that would help out more, possibly faster RAM too.
Let's break it down a bit:

So here's the deal, their recommended setups for Nvidia vs an old HD 7970 makes no sense to me. Those two cards are daylight and dark in terms of differences. Your 560 while TONS better than a HD 7970, it's
extremely weak compared to an Nvidia GTX 770. Your card and a 770 are not even in the same league honestly. Honestly AMD is kinda just now getting something of a jump on Nvidia recently, and I am an longtime AMD fanboy, so in before someone accuses me of being an Nvidia fanboy with biases. I honestly would be running a 6800xt right now, but there is no stock.... If I were able to buy one, my wallet would slam on the table and I would get one immediately.
Anyway, Old World might want to rethink their minimum and recommended system requirements a bit more. Seems like someone on this forum works for their company and posts sometimes. Maybe that person can pass along this information.
Also, games in current development are always working on optimization. I bet this game runs much better than it did 6 months ago. Maybe they are aware and need more time to make those improvements on performance to get the game to run well on the requirements they posted. At this time I do not think this game is capable of running on even those minimum requirements they posted, that's even before considering your PC build and what you reported. I have an old AMD R9 270x OC Edition laying around here somewhere and I bet that could run this game okayish, and that card is a fair bit stronger than your 560. Another thing to consider is if your 560 has 2GB of VRAM or 4GB of VRAM. Apparently on Userbenchmark I see some benchmark differences that are significant enough to make a difference between the two. Notice that in their recommendation, they want you to have at least 4GB of dedicated VRAM on your GPU. I think that is a good recommendation, because games like these have lots of little assets and items on the screen and the processing between turns is a bunch of actions you cannot see due to fog of war, etc. from the AI. CIV 5 BNW base game seems to run okay on even very old cards. Well that game is finished and optimized. Vox Populi modded CIV 5? Not so much, you kinda couldn't run that on the same low end rig that could get away with regular CIV 5. Skyrim heavily modded vs unmodded ditto.
Anyway, sorry for the book long post. Hope it helps you or someone else. Right now GPUs are out of stock everywhere and the market is chaotic right now. That said, I think there are still mid range slightly older cards floating around that you could pick up right now that would not cause you to change your CPU/Motherboard etc. That said, they should clarify if their recommended settings are being ran on the lowest settings or medium settings. If it is lower settings, your FX6000 series CPU might be a bit too old to run the game too, considering they want you to have a 8000 series @ 4GHZ.
