Nvidia SLI or AMD Crossfire technology will only work with the respective vendors. That means you cant SLI an Nvidia graphics card with any other brand than nvidia itself, same applies to AMD Crossfire as well. For mentioned games and the resolution which you play games the Graphics card I recommends is Radeon HD 7850 minimum. Your i3 3220 may not be enough for Crysis 3 because Crysis 3 at least requires a Quad Core CPU for smooth gaming experience.

The HD2500 will not work in SLI being that it's integrated. I would reccomended a GTX760 if your budget calls for it. A phenomonal card for the money and SLI 760's outperform a Titan for half the price!

Once you add a discrete GPU and plug your monitor cable into it, then you aren't using the HD2500 anymore.

I'd get a 7770. Why? Cuz your monitor. If your monitor is only 1366x768 then a 7770 will max out those games you like. So, you don't need to spend more money.

Also, I'd add a second 4GB of RAM.

upgrade the gpu ... get the R9 series from amd .. they are cheap and powerful
change the psu for an tx series from corsair with a 750W minimum

I would never advise a 750W PSU unless someone wanted to use 2 high end GPUs.. And that won't be needed. The OP has a 450W PSU, which is enough for a great GPU. The first question was about using the HD2500 + a discrete GPU..but that can't be done.

Also, he is using a i3 which consumes so so very little power. So, 750W is not needed and a waste of money.

He just needs a good GPU like the 7770 for 768p gaming.

corsair vs 450 series is simply not enough reliable .. and if he choose an R9 series he will need more wattage
and a hd 7770 gpu is simply a ridiculos card , really not enough

It is good enough for this build. If the OP were to buy it now I'd suggest another one but you gotta understand people have budgets. We can't just spend money all the time for new PSUs when we already have a good working one.

About the 7770. The OP is using a 1366x768 monitor. That means that you don't need an inexpensive GPU to max out games. A 7770 will max out games on that monitor at 50+fps, so why would the OP need a better GPU? Please provide links to prove your point or I won't believe you.
