Could some one please help me :) :(

Well, that integrated video isnŽt good at all. YouŽll need a new graphics card to get better performance.

Tell us how much can you spend and weŽll help you to pick one!

Well i would like to proberly get the cheapst 128mb around or a 62mb because im a big skint on money at the moment. But the only thing is the graphics card must be good enoth to run couter stike source well. one other thing my pc is rele fin and wont fix normal graphics cards because i have a RADEON 9600SE 128mb in my other pc but my other pc is slow that why i got this one, but its to big to side in and i dont think it will fit into the ports i have!
