You can play on the max settings forever @ 1024x768 lol. But like Kanewolf said these new cards don't have DVI-D ports so you can't use VGA. You would need to buy an adapter. They are only $15 max on amazon.
Unless you are using a P4 still, I don't how the CPU could hold you back at such a low resolution.
It is a 1024x768 resolution 17 inch monitor that only has a VGA port. A new generation graphics card won't have a VGA compatible port. You will have to buy an adapter. Your CPU will be the limiting factor in most cases so a CPU upgrade might improve your experience.
