I've played 2 - 3 on the PS3 and am finally now thinking about *attempting* to play the complete series, starting with ME1, from start to finish if my lousy computer will allow me. I'll be running a Nvidia GT 520, a budget low profile card. I don't need five gazillion fps, but I'd like something, be it on whatever setting, that isn't jarringly slow, ya'know? So if anyone could answer this question of can I play ME1 - ME3 it would be greatly apperciated.
Can this video card even run Mass Effect?

You won't be able to play ME-3, and you will have driver problems in ME-1, but you should be able to do all right in ME-2 (the correct thread for the question was waiting for you).
Can my PC run this game? (ME2 / ME3)

PC MINIMUM System Requirements
OS = Windows XP SP3 / Windows Vista SP1 / Windows 7
Processor = 1.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or equivalent AMD CPU
Memory = 1 GB RAM for Windows XP / 2 GB RAM for Windows Vista and Windows 7
Hard Drive = 15 GB
DVD ROM = 1x Speed
Sound Card = DirectX 9.0c compatible
Direct X = DirectX 9.0c August 2008 (included)
Input = Keyboard / Mouse
Video Card = 256 MB (with Pixel Shader 3.0 support). Supported GPU Chips: NVIDIA GeForce 6800 or greater(**); ATI Radeon X1600 Pro or greater. Please note that NVIDIA GeForce G.205, G.210, 310, 7100, 7200, 7300, 7400, 7500, 8100, 8200, 8300, 8400, 9100, 9200, and 9300, also (probably) GT 520/610; ATI Radeon X1300, X1550, HD 2400, 3100, 3200, HD 3450, HD 3470, HD 4200, HD 4250, HD 4350, HD 4380, 4550, and (probably) HD 6370 are below minimum system requirements. Updates to your video and sound card drivers may be required. Intel and S3 video devices are not officially supported in Mass Effect 2.
(**)Two of the Geforce 6800s are worse than the next-lower Geforce game card, the 6600 GT, and should be avoided (6800 SE, 6800 XT).

It's not going to be a perfect run with such a low powered card, so stick with a relatively low screen resolution, and get rid of as much background clutter as possible (only the minimum services, after it's been registered and ready to go, don't stay connected, shut off the modem, play it offline so you can shut down the browser and malware protection, etc).
