You should definately get something better than a Radeon x1300. Believe me, I am currently using an x1300, and it does not game very well. The x1300 is a fantastic card for the price, but one will not be satisfied gaming with it. Also, the price difference from budget-card to a mainstream-card is hardly noticable, so it is hardly logical anymore to get a low-end budget card.

Keep in mind that when choosing a graphics card, the last three digits are what you must pay attention to. For example, a Radeon x1300 is not better than a Radeon x800. Because X and X1 are the generations, whereas 800 and 300 are the models. Therefore the x800 is better than the x1300. The x800 is an old high-end card, and the x1300 is a new low-end card. Make sense? Choose something that has a 600 at the end for mainstream graphical performance.

I recommend something that is mid-range, like the king of budget gaming, the GeForce 7600GT. Any card in the GeForce 7600 series or the Radeon x1600 series would also suffice.

Hope I helped
