I have an ASUS 6800 512mb AGP which runs Counter Strike Source very nicely on high res.

Go for a mid-range 7000 series GPU?

if you want a really cheap card pick up a radeon x300 for 37 usd. It's what I play wow and CS:S on and with decent settings.

edit: it also runs half life 2 very nicely.

On ebay anyway and more around $135. Which isn't a good idea imo.
