So I play counterstrike source at my LCD's native resolution of 1280x1024 and at times I experience hardware lag, on-screen slowdowns. I want to know if upgrading either my video card will help or my cpu. Which ONE upgrade would help the most.

CPU: AMD 4000+ (san diego 939)
Video: BFG 7800GTX OC
Ram: 2gigabyte Mushkin (2-2-2-1? iirc)
HDD: Raptor 150gb

Thanks in advance.
 
Your system looks like it should play css without a hitch. Did you recently start having this problem?
 
I've always had this issue. The system isn't oc'd. Video settings are maxed but anti aliasing is disabled. Running latest nvidia forceware.
 
im gonna have to say video card , thats the differnce between my friends pc & my pc .. both have same specs all around , he has a BFG7800GTX & i have a EVGA 8800GTS 640 .. he lags a bit now in source engine games , its been all the updates
