I just built a new computer with the following:

Cooler Master Gladiator 600 case
i5-3570K CPU Intel HD 4000 Integrated graphics
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H
Corsair H60 Liquid Cooler
Corsair CX600M PSU
Samsung 120GB 840 Series SSD
Crucial DDR3 8Gb Ram

I am using the onboard graphics with dual monitors. I want to add a GPU. I am a light gamer and would like to play occasional BF3 on good graphics settings.

What is the best card that will allow me to hook up two monitors, (1 DVI, & 1 HDMI connection) for under $125.00?

I am lost trying to figuring out the Radeon and Nvidia model numbers and how one card is better or worse than the other.

Do I stick to a 1GB GDDR5 card or better to go with a 2GB GDDR3 card?

Anything less won't play bf3 well at all. Anything more is out of your budget. Maybe a 660 on nvidia side?
