gpu question

[DJ_Hughesy]

I'm thinking about setting up a 2nd PC purely for running cs:source when a friend comes round as laptop just isn't good enough

probably going to buy a cheap core2duo/quad (q6600 isn't bad for price), mobo, cooler, 500w psu pretty much everything but ram + case + OS
and was curious to what kinda graphics card i should be pairing with it?

would a 5770 do? or would i need better? more a question of whats the cheapest card that will run cs:s 100-200fps minimum on all lowest at 1080, I'm unable to find benchmarks on older games so I'm relying on your collective experience with lots of different hardware

try keep it cheap as possible more of a side project for once Ive upgraded to ivy n sold my phenom+mobo

another quick question, say i got a 5770 + a q6600 n overclocked it what kind of psu am i gunna need? as im gunna need to buy a new one for it, would a 450w do? or would i need 500w+?

could you recommend a good cheap one? wouldn't trust a 2nd hand psu nor my knowledge
