I have a budget build in mind with the Pentium G-3220. I am putting it up for gaming. I will upgrade it soon to at least an i3. But for now I want to keep costs low so I selected the pentium.

Now to my question about the Graphics Card. Should I buy the Gainward GTX 650 1GB GDDR5 or the Sapphire Radeon HD 7770 1GB GDDR5. I will play on 1280 X 1024 resolution or less. What should I pick? If not the latest, then I want to be able to play at least games like BF3, FC3 AC: IV, Crysis 3 at medium settings.
Also if I buy a 2GB version of a card, is it waste of money?(some people talk about a thing called 'overkill'. explain please)
Help.

The 2gb version is for people who like to play on a higher resolution (2560x1440) or would like to play with high resolution texture packs (skyrim). I doubt you will need it here in this situation.

Well first of, AMD is more likely to be alot cheaper but they lack in feutures.. But you get alot more Cores per $ and it more for a Budget build.

Nvidia is known for Mid End and High End quality and is working alot better than AMD.. Nvidia also have alot of differnt feutures. Ill give you a link to some of the feutures Nvidia offers. but not every card supports theese..

you can also check out GPUBOSS to compare them

I would prefer the Geforce to be honest :)

overkill is when you go all over crazy and buy realy expensive stuff that realy kicks ass but uneasasary
