-Intel i3-2100 @ 3.10 Ghz

Well i'm 15, and doesnt know anything about compatibilities and I need help in choosing a new graphics card for my computer at least $200 or less (lesser is better im on a budget). Can you help me choose....I want to play BF3, Borderlands 2, MW3, Bioshock: Infinite,Tomb Raider 2013 and Batman at least in high with no lag...Thanks in advance....:D (Edit: Also the upcoming BattleField 4 and Crysis 3 :p)

Then definitely the GTX 650 Ti Boost or HD 7850 - both have about the same performance, make sure you get one with 2GB VRAM. Probably the GTX because it's cheaper and has some nice features. But the HD 7850 does come with 2 games.

What kind of computer case can only accommodate a 5.5" long card? As long as it's not a slim-tower, the best you can do is a GTX 650Ti for $130 - and you'll be playing most newer games on Medium.

Also, see if you can take a picture of your PC with the side panel off and upload it - then link it here.

If you don't already have Tomb Raider, Bioshock and Crysis 3;

getting an AMD 7800 series card will give you Tomb Raider and Bioshock for free, so you save on buying those 2 games and can spend the savings on an even better AMD card.

Or if you get a 7950 (can be had for $300) you get Bioshock and Crysis 3 for free and you save on those games likewise.

But if you already have those games you should be better off with a GTX 650 Ti Boost

Yes - most of both types of card are plenty short enough. I have my eye on this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500293
Pretty sure I'll be selling my HD 6870 and buying this one with the money.
