is my graphic card good enough for casual gaming (HD 5570)

[clrking]

Hey, I was looking to start getting some games off steam, nothing crazy graphics wise like skyrim or BF3, looking at left for dead, borderlands, games like this. This is my current setup, wondering if I can run these games and what setting on.

I7-860
10GB ram ddr 1033hz
3TB 5400 rpm WD green
Ati radeon 5570 1GB

I've played portal and done a bunch of adobe suite stuff on it and its fine

Thanks for your help

5770 is considered an entry level graphics card for gaming. It's a step up from 6670 which is basically the minimum for gaming.

The 5770 performs close to the 7750 in Skyrim: Elder Scrolls (and BF3 not shown):

5570 might play Left 4 Dead and med settings, but you won't be playing many newer games.
