Yep, and I suggest getting a 9800GTX/9800GTX+ if you have the extra cash. I play without AA/everything except Flares on with my machine, the 9800GTX was running max AA (16x I think) on 1920x1080p on a quad core 2.83 GHz processor with 2GB of DDR2 800MHz RAM. It had everything on, including bloom effect and etc. Its performance boost is amazing.

EDIT: I should also mention, with all that on, I was chipping out 59.5 FPS+ in every map. Average was around 100ish though.

If it's a single core processor, I suggest upgrading to a dual or tri-core for the mean time, CA isn't processor dependent past a 2.1GHz dual core. I'd need to know your motherboards socket type (AM2, LGA 775, AM2+/AM3, etc.) to give you a perfect recommendation on your processor. 4GB of RAM is more than enough, but if you want a good 8GB combo

8GB, DDR3 1333 MHz
Newegg.com - HIS H575QS1GD Radeon HD 5750 IceQ+ 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity
5750 1GB of Dedicated vRAM, 700Mhz core clock. I'm an AMD fanboy, so yea. That brings you to around $190 (200 for shipping probably) but if you can figure out your motherboards socket type I'll find you a nice dual/tri-core. Tri-core's are possible to unlock to quad cores in some cases.

is that a really good gfx card for its price?
im horrible at hardware :/

A friend of mine just tested ATI Radeon, a cheaper one but with more cool stuff

If you don't mind keeping the dual core 2.7 GHz processor, you could easily get a 5850/5870 if you'd like to. Or a 5770, or a 550 GTX Ti (Fermi). You'd need a new power supply though, that rig only brings a 300W PSU to the table.
Newegg.com - COOLMAX CL-700B 700W ATX 12V v2.2 Compatible with Core i3/i5/i7 Power Supply
If you can upgrade to that 700W, you could get a 5770 for like $140ish dollars, you'll end up paying 280-320 dollars more than likely.

Do you plan to upgrade RAM? If not, then it's around that $190.

If you feel the need to upgrade your RAM you should, I'm set with 4GB on my in-the-process-of-being-built-rig. It depends if you need the excess memory for other hard tasks.

You don't really need to upgrade your RAM, if you ask me, but that's a 3.0 GHz Quad Core which meets your motherboards socket type standards. It'll improve performance significantly.

EDIT: Take into consideration your computer is using 256MB of your RAM for your graphics card.
