my brother plays CSS with that 5200 in medium with an even higher resolution.

but i would recommend a geforce 6 series. if you wana go extreem get the 7800GS its expencive and it will the rest of the system would be bottlenecking it.

Get a 7950gx2 if you're getting a top end card, or a x1600pro if you're getting a middle end.

Lag 'n' FPS drops are caused by HDD or CD/DVD problems often
