I have an Intel Pentium 4 3.0GHz processor and my video card is an ATI Radeon x700 pro PCIe x16 256mb version. It does run most of my games pretty well but my processor is the one lagging behind the video card. I'm getting a new processor soon to replace my Pentium 4, the Core 2 Duo which offers the best gaming performance and I guarantee it will make my video card work at it's potential. But upgrade your video card as well as your processor, those are the 2 biggest concerns about performance in gaming today.

The video card, but that's still a pretty sweet system overall. If you want to get into gaming grade for Radeon it really starts at about X800 or for NVIDIA, GeForce 7600GT or higher. Obviously the higher the number the better the performance but also consider cost.
