upgrade question

Alright, right now i'm sitting on an AMD Athlon XP 1.4ghz. I've had it for ever now and am looking for a small upgrade since i just upgraded from an Ati Radeon 9200 to a Radeon x700pro.

So i was thinking of going with an AMD Athlon 64 3800+. I was originally going to buy a whole new system, but i'm not going to have the money for some time and i want something that'll run games a little better ( i bought the x700pro thinking it'd give me a steady 100fps in half-life1 mods like tfc, cs, cz, but i didn't accomplish that and was told it was because of my processor). So i looked around and found an 3800+ for about 111$ and i can get a mobo that is PCI-E & AGP for about 64$(since the x700p is agp :[). But basically my question is:

Will an athlon64 3800+, w/ 1gb memory & a x700pro 256mb run source based games (half-life 2, etc..) with ease on decent settings (not run down settings that makes the game look poorly).

thanks in advance.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

render: well i wanted something that was better than the 9200, and i don't really play any of the newer games that come out, and the x700 was only about 76$ shipped. the only reason i have any interest in getting decent/good fps in source based games is because of tf2

i plan on building a whole new system in the near future, it's just i'm kind of strapped on cash, so i figured a small upgrade would be just fine.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
