post complete PC specs, PSU brand and 12v amperage rating. also the resolution you wish to play at.

TF2 is a pretty easy game to run, i'm running it maxed at 1680 with 4x AA on an e7200 and 8800gt.

3.00 GB ram, 32 bit vista home premium, 2.4 GHz intel duo processor http://www.canadacomputers.com...&pid=016235&cid=PS.731 that is the PSU


and I want to play TF2 and the rest of the orange box at 1680 resolution

but I have no clue what amperage is (I have never replaced anything on a computer before)

I ALSO WANT TO TRY TO PLAY BIOSHOCK ON IT

Bioshock is a different beast altogether from TF2. It requires just a bit more GPU to run well.
From that site, in the same price range:

8800GT , card is refurbished but still has a warranty. I know this card can run TF2 and bioshock well, I built a system for my niece using the same chipset but EVGA brand. Same cpu as yours. and she runs at 1680x1050 with no issues.

9800GT or GTS250 would be your best options. They work better in Bioshock with anti-aliasing, and should run fine on just about any 500W power supply.
