Hey everyone I am new to this site but I really need some help. I am thinking of upgrading my video card. My current video card is a Nvidia GeForce 5200 FX 128MB. The video card I plan on getting is a Diablotek Nvidia GeForce 6600 512MB which can be found here http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1549699&Tab=0&NoMapp=0
Well I am new to video cards and I am not sure if this the right video card for me.

My computer was brought in Augest 2004 so it is fairly new so I am guessing my motherboard can handle this video card that I want to purchase.
This is my current PC.
Pentium 4 3.0GHz Processor
1024MB of Ram
Nvidia Geforce 5200 FX
Maxtor DiamondMax 160GB HardDrive

My Question is will my current pc handle this new video card? Also is this video card worth getting?

Thanks to anyone who helps me with my questions.

Personally I'd be more inclined to get a 6600GT or 6800 rather than that card... although the 6800 is a step up in price
