I update my graphics card?
I have Windows 7(64-bit)
Intel i5 3.30ghz
8gb of ram
and a crappy ATI Raideon HD 5450
Right now I am having slow FPS with GTA3. So would a new one fix this? Also pretty new to this type of stuff so excuse my ignorance about it.
Also if anyone can recommend a new graphics card that can handle them for around $50-100 it would be much appreciated.

What i5 is that? Ivy Bridge? Sandy Bridge? Lynnfield?
If it's the last one the problem could also be the CPU. Have you tried some speedhacks? You're using the DX9 plugin or the DX11 one?

So the CPU is fine. Try DX11, in some games might be better. Otherwise i would suggest a Radeon 7750, shoul be enough to play at 2x or 3x resolution lots of games. Otherwise you can spend more and look for 7770 or a GeForce 650.

I have all three plus a bunch of other PS2 games Id like to revisit. I could also just buy a PS2 but I figure its time for a GPU update anyways.

yes, definitely, buy one.
At least do it if you want to use pcsx2 legally.
