Hi I'm new to the wonderful world of PC gaming, since I've relised how bad console was compared to PC. I've been playing games like Left 4 dead 2, Team Fortress 2 , COD MW3, ECT . Anyway, i seem to get very low frame on most of my games unless i play on low resolution which is ok but i would really love to play the game at a smoother and clearer version. My PC Specs Processor: Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E6500 @ 2.93GHz 2.93 GHZ RAM: 4.00GB System Type: 64-bit Graphics Card: ATI Radeon HD 5450 Can anybody recommend me a good graphics card which can play Valve games (in particulate) at a high frame rate on higher resolution? Please tell me if I've missed anything obvious since i am new to PC Gaming. Or Please tell me some ways I can increase the frame rate for my games. Thank you

You dont need to upgrade the cpu to use a faster gpu Yeah but I feel like that CPU will bottleneck anything better than a 7750. It wont, it all depends on the game now if your talking about a game that would like a quad core , however the games the TC wants to play dont need much more then a descent dual core.
id say get a GTX 460, it may be last gen but if thats all you are going to play it will do it without breaking a sweat, if you have a good psu and spend a little extra id get a GTX 560 Ti which is a really good card for a budget

I had a hd6670 in my son's computer before I purchased the hd6850 for him. He was running a Athlon dual core with 8gb ram.The 6670 was a solid card, at least for not having to upgrade the power supply.It was the Asus 1gb ddr5 version.They're very cheap now. I think you can get them on Tigerdirect for under 90.00.
That is a very good card. The hd6850 and gtx460 seem about equal, although I would give the slight edge to the gtx460. I have twins and one has the hd6850, while the other has the gtx460,Their PCs are pretty identical after that. I notice the gtx460 performing a tad bit better in most of the same games they've played. My son even has more ram and a faster processor in the 6850 pc.
