The first thing that i suggest for a computer like this is to set ur launch options.
Launch Options
Source has many performance-friendly launch options built-in that you may find give you a significant performance gain.
Launch properties can be added by right-clicking Counter-Strike: Source in Steam's My Games menu, clicking Properties, then Launch Options

-dxlevel: Sets the DirectX level Source runs in.
You may find that setting this value lower than what your card can actually support to yield a performance increase. For example, a DirectX 9 card may run significantly faster in DirectX 8. Below is the recommended usage:
* -dxlevel 90 for DirectX 9
* -dxlevel 81 for DirectX 8.1 <- Use this it is cal legal and also what i use.
The second thing that you have to take into consideration is whether or not your internet can support alot of bandwith or rates for more on rates go here:
