Here are a couple from Nvidia and a couple from AMD for you to look at. The 7850 is one level above the others and is newer having just been released in the past month or so , the others have been around a bit but are still good video cards.

You don't need $250 cards for those two games, but my first choice would be:

Many out of stock... I wonder why.

Hands down.

Agreed. The 480 is a beast for its price right now.

With heat and the power consumption of the 480 I think 7850 is better
