A Dual core at 3.2Ghz is more than enough to smoothly run today's and most of tommorrow's games without bottlenecking the video card.

The best 9-series video card would be the 9800GTX+(Single GPU) or the 9800GX2(Dual GPU).

I would suggest upgrading to atleast a GTX260 or a 9800GX2.

Get the 9800GTX+. I have two of them and can run anything except crysis maxed. Crysis my card handles 1280x1024 Very High and 16xAA and it around 30 fps or so.
