Hows The NVIDIA Geforce FX 5500

Nope completly stupid. Either go for the 6's "6800" or the 7's 7800 , 7900gt , 7950 ect.

Get no less than HD 2600Pro,preferably the XT.

It's pretty damn bad.
It's the card I have now.

It can run Company of Heroes on low with a little slowdown (when the action picks up the framerate takes a hit, though it's still playable).
Sure, it can run HL2 on high with bloom enabled, but dont be expecting it to run anything more demanding than Company of Heroes and such.
It may do though, I'm not sure. (It can run S.T.A.L.K.E.R and World in Conflict smoothly, but I'm not sure how optimized they are compared to CoH).

Are you sure it can play those games?

I had one and it could barely run BF2 on low.. and I'm sure BF2 is less demanding :o
