I remember desert combat taking nearly 5 min to load a single map. Using a single core amd Athlon 1.5 ghz cpu and the old nvidia 5200 and 512 mb of ram. In the end still totally worth it. :D

In my old junky Win XP (yes i DO have a good computer now), it barely runs FH1. It take 5 min to gutfully load, then it releases the most beautiful lag ever in existence. :D

That depends on the monitor resolution, for example at 1080p, AMD R9 280X or Nvidia GTX 770 both provide excellent performance to play CryEngine 3 games at highest settings.
Of course lower graphics card models like R9 270X or GTX 760 could be enough for a reasonable gaming experience, by lowering AA filters. ;)

Will a Nvidia Geforce Gt 650m run Tractionwars good? What are AA filters?

According to this site: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M - NotebookCheck.net Tech you will be able to run Crysis 3 at medium settings, disabled AA on 1366x768 resolution, so Traction Wars shouldn't be much different. Keep in mind that with those settings you'll get around 30 fps, which is reasonable for CryEngine3.

About AA filters, there is an good explanation: TweakGuides.com - Gamer's Graphics & Display Settings Guide

Right now there is a HD6670 1GB in my machine, it's done well but my PC was die.

The CPU was anyway. decided to replace that and then I saw I needed a new MOBO for what I want and then it kind of went on from there and now considering replacing it all together so I plan on getting something much better than that GPU.

yeah, GT240 is a really slow card, not even aimed for gaming purpose, besides it doesn't support DirectX 11.
There should be some interesting deals of used cards out there, right now I can't recommend anything below GTX 660 or HD 7870 to achieve overall smooth experience with current games at mid-high settings.

However, pairing a modern card with old system(mainly CPU), may lead to bottleneck, and performance increase could be null or even worse than before upgrade.

[MENTION=376]calgoblin[/MENTION] well I can vouch for the 780GTX. It runs a certain game we have in common smooth as silk :)
