The 8600 should be able to handle tf2 well but for a littile biy more you could get a ati radeon hd 3870. just don't bid over 100 for those cards and you should be fine.

Agreed. Get the 9600 GT.

...But then again there's his PSU. If it's not strong enough, then he might as well should go with an 8600 GT.
