Can my card hang with the new games about to come out?

I am worried that my system might not perform like I want it to with games like Morrowind, Unreal 2 and such that are really going to graphic intensive. You can look at my system in my sig but I have 1ghz TB, and a Leadtek GF2Pro 32mb card.

Is it time for an upgrade, if so what card is the best bang for the buck?
Or should I wait awhile longer?

Thanks for the input:)

You should be able to run those games. However, well they run will be an issue. If you are looking to upgrade. The card with the best bang for you buck is the ATI Radeon 8500 retail. Check around on the hd forum or try PriceGrabber.com and find the best price. It's a really good DX 8 card for less than $200. You can't beat that.;)

Me thinks you will be able to play most of these games, albeit, at lower resolutions and with the details set somewhat lower.

If you are looking to upgrade however, I'm going to have to disagree with Torghn and recommend you get a Geforce 3 Ti 200. When overclocked this card outperforms the Radeon 8500LE. If you keep your eyes open on the Hot Deals section, there are times when you can get this card for less than $100.
