Yeah, im asking if the vid card would work good, but not saying to HL2... Lets say Knights of the Old Republic?, coz im planning to buy that game..

that setup should run most current games at a decent level of quality and framerate

however, in the future you may want to upgrade that video card, if you decide you want more performance

the rest of the system is very good though, from what is shown

well yea, it's crap.. if u wanna go cheap get a ATI Radeon 9200.. it's actually faster i hear.

if you mean which is faster, then the ti4200 is faster

though the fx5200 has full dx9 support

[jonathan_tijuana]

what u mean with full directx9 support ?

the ti4200 isn't designed as a dx9 board (largely due to the fact dx9 wasn't available when it was developed)

the fx series is fully dx9 compliant

it doesn't mean a whole lot to the casual user, but for a gamer, the dx9 based cards would be recommended. they simply look better (and should perform better) on dx9 based games

So a FX5200 would be worth a 20-30 dollar jump? =\.. my MSI fx5200 was only 85 bucks came with games.. etc.. and a remote control! anyways back to the question, So would the price gap really be worth it for a FX5600?

for a gamer, yes, no question
