Question

let me play all games on the market and games like empire total war that will come out in february

Answer 1

ATi x1300 is almost total toast. Very little you will be able to play and what you can it will look horrible. Don't get the nvidia 9800 series either mass amounts are have chip failure. ATI 3870 series $125 but with all cards check to make sure your power supply can handle the card.  

Answer 2

Yep that will do ya. The 8600gt isn't a bad card if somewhat dated now but it will play any game out there and most look good on it. You really want the best GFX card you can afford to make sure you can play future games, but i reckon it will handle Empire total war o.k, might need a little tweaking with the settings though. Looking forward to Empire T/W myself.

Answer 3

get a 9800gtx there like $150
