Barely enough. The processor should be fine for most games.

Don't think so, 70 euro is pretty low budget for a graphics card, but if you can dish out about 100 you can get a way way better 9800GT (at least that's the price here)
Edit: or a radeon 5670 which also supports DX11 so you're future proof too.

9800GT:
Memory Size / Type
256/512MB GDDR3
Core clock
600 MHz
Memory clock / Bus width
900 MHz / 256 Bit
ROPs/Pixel/Vertex Shaders (now known as cuda processors or something)
16 / 112
GT220:
Memory Size / Type
512MB GDDR3
Core clock
720 MHz
Memory clock / Bus width
790 MHz / 128 Bit
ROPs/Pixel/Vertex Shaders (now known as cuda processors or something)
?? / 48
An estimate comparison, it depends from release to release. I made bold the big caveats of the 220 compared to the 9800

Yeah the 5770 is better but also costs a lot more, 9800gt is still better for the price and for the price of a 5770 I'd rather get a 4870 (cheaper and about as fast) at least until DX11 starts to be worth getting :P
