You have a very fast system. It may not be by today's standards, but realistically, none of those components should be causing lag in CS. I wouldn't be in too much of a rush to jump to an upgrade. Before considering that, you should first try updating everything and reinstalling everything. My Athlon 1.0 GHz is just fine for most games and applications. Recently, I have been too swamped to do "regular maintenance" (I usually format every few weeks) and it has started to lag in performance. Every time something like this happens, I format it and it is fine. This is why I suggest doing a format before upgrading.
You should also update all BIOS's as one may not be running very efficently alongside your NIC.
