here you go!!

this will either play it at the second highest setting or the highest setting. there isnt much of a graphical difference between the lowest setting and the highest setting. if you have a bit more budget, i would first upgrade the ram to 8gbs

You should only use Microcenter. They have amazing prices, and if anything goes wrong, it makes returns much easier.

Biostar tz77a $99-$50 in store deal

DVD burner $15

Total $395 before tax

This will play most games on medium-high settings at 1080 pixels. For the amount left over, the only gpu upgrade you could do would be buying another 6770 in crossfire. If you could sell your 6770 on ebay, you would probably have enough to get an upgrade to a 7850, which would give you a major performance boost.

Thanks for the reply.
Since the Biostar is out of stock, is there a good substitution? like gigabytes or asus:

For the 7850, is there any good deal?

I would go with the asus because it is $20 cheaper.
Here is the cheapest (good) 7850 I could find.
His 7850 3 gigabyte $249-$20 MIR
