Reddit mentions of EVGA GeForce GTX660 2048MB GDDR5 192-Bit, Dual DVI-D, HDMI, DP and 2-Way SLI Ready GPU Graphics Cards 02G-P4-2660-KR

The same XFX card is only $155 on Amazon, and comes with free 2-day shipping if you have Amazon Prime. I don't think you get the 3 free games with it, but you save a good $23. Also, I have a copy of Tomb Raider which I've been meaning to give away, so let me know if you want it.

A 7950 with 3GB of memory is also available on Amazon for $265. Here's a version of the 7950 that's selling for $245 on Amazon too (and also has the free 2-day prime shipping/free 7-day shipping for non-Prime members). However, despite being slightly slower, the 7850 is a better bang for your buck than the 7950.

You may also consider the XFX AMD 7870 2GB, which is available on Amazon for $220 (also with the free 2-day/7-day shipping).

If you want to go the nVidia route, the XFX 660 can be had for $199 here, and it is a bit quicker than the 7850. This XFX 650Ti ties the 7850, and costs $170.

Better than all of these cards would be an nVidia GTX 760, which costs $260 on Amazon or $250 on NewEgg, but that might be out of your price range. Still, I'd strongly recommend it if you're considering stepping into the $200+ range. Here's a helpful chart comparing its performance in BF3 to the GTX670, the AMD 7950, etc., and here's a similar chart that compares the 7850 to the 7950 and some others.

If I were you, I'd go for this XFX 660, which I also linked above. At $199.99, you get performance that's quite noticeably better than the 7850, even a bit better than the still-more-expensive AMD 7870 which costs ~$220, and it comes overclocked out of the box with a 980MHz core clock (the stock speed on these cards is 900MHz, I think). It also has 2GB of VRAM rather than the 1GB on the XFX 7850 you mentioned, which is quickly entering the too-little-memory territory as games continue expanding the resolution of their textures, the complexity of scenes, etc. Not to mention that 2GB of video memory will allow deferred antialiasing and higher texture quality settings to have a lower impact on your FPS than cards with only 1GB of memory.

There are some higher quality and cheaper cases out there. Look into NZXT's Tempest/Source cases and maybe Corsair's 200R

You can get twice the hard drive size for a bit more money (~$10 more), so why not.

Also try to get the GPU to at least a 660. The 650Ti is strong, but not as much as the 660 which is highly recommended in that sub. Why do you only want an nVidia card, if I may ask?

I also found you a much cheaper RAM.

I usually hear people say to spend more on the graphics card than the CPU for a gaming system.

These are both good cards for the price:

• GTX 660 ($195)
  
• HD 7850 ($180)
  
  
  I did a lot of math recently on graphics card performance results. At 1080p on ultra settings, these are the average FPS from testing with 10 games for these three cards:
  
  
• 39 FPS - HD 7770
  
• 61 FPS - HD 7850
  
• 73 FPS - GTX 660

I'd say get the GTX 660 instead. Very good card and from what i'm seeing only $20 more. Source: I have a 660 and it's wonderful. If you have a bit more money get the 760.

Cheapest of the 600 range that can support 3 gaming monitors and a 4th 'Accessory' monitor for a good price :) http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-192-Bit-Graphics-02G-P4-2660-KR/dp/B009F7HFRA/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1375395834&sr=1-1&keywords=660+nvidia
