Check out the ATI Radeon 4800 series - specifically, the 4850, 4870, and 4890. They're a little old and don't support DirectX 11, but since you're on Windows XP, you're limited to DirectX 9, anyway. The 4800 series provides amazing performance for sub-$200 cards, and is overall really great value. You should be able to run most games rather well on a 4870 or 4890.

 

You can find a variety of 4800-series cards here on Amazon: http://www.amazon.co...rds=radeon+4890

 

They are getting increasingly difficult to find, but they're very good cards. Even the low-end 4830 I have in my old desktop computer can run the original Crysis smoothly with all the settings on "medium".

Taken from the Steam website:

1.7 GHz Processor, 512MB RAM, DirectX® 8.1 level Graphics Card (Requires support for SSE), Windows® 7 (32/64-bit)/Vista/XP.

 

You'll be able to barely run TF2 once you get the Graphics Card. But getting the one Feld0 recommended seemed like a good idea, you could go cheaper, just make sure it supports the features required for TF2.
