That videocard is, indeed, ancient. As far as I can tell though the rest of the system seems worthwhile.

Yah, you are gonna be playin Crysis on medium to medium high with that graphics card. I can only play it on high with no lag, and I have a 8800 GTS.

with that processor i would say you can on medium/low with no lag. but u should make sure on systemrequirementslab.com to see if u meet the minimum requirments. if u meet the minimum you should be able to run it on low/medium no problem.
