You're paying way too much for a graphics card if this is just for games like CSS and CoD. You could save money and get this 7850 instead, but even that is insane overkill for those games: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

This combo's impossible to pass up: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

I'm assuming the RAM is this kit: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Better SSD choice, much better for your dollar: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

I'd switch that case for one of these, which are both drop-dead gorgeous:

Lian-Li is absolutely the cream of the crop.

DVD drive's a DVD drive, yes... But if you want the possibility of doing that Xbox thing get this one: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Don't get that keyboard, it's garbage. Get this one: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

I was wondering does the graphics card determine just the quality or the quality and the game preformance like if it is laggy or not?

It determines frames per second and the quality at which each frame is rendered (details, shadows, lighting, textures, etc.). Your network connection causes lag in game.
