Yea CSS isnt the most demanding game really.

Steel and rest -

Thanks for the input. I know my graphics card is the weak spot... and also the processor but I am not looking for blazing speeds. However, with the graphics card, the cheapest 8600gt I could find was $50, I got mine for $25. Would it really be worth upgrading that? I guess the only way to know is to play.

Steel, you mentioned benchmarks for CSS I could find online. Can you point me in the right direction for finding those? I will run it through google and see what I can find.

Once again, thanks for all the input guys.

The 8600 for $25? A steal! The 8600 is underestimated. It still gives amazing graphics and performs great for the money!

I think that he means that he found his 8400GS or whatever for 25, meaning the 8600 would be double the cost, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong... Though I would have to agree that the 8600 is well worth the upgrade.
