Ok, so I was planning on getting a 7770, but as much as I think about it, the more I think I'm wasting cash.

My options are these cards:

Sapphire 7770 1GB GDDR5 GHz OC - 152$
Sapphire 7770 1GB GDDR5 GHz - 154$
Sapphire 7770 1GB GDDR5 GHz Vapor X - 160$
MSI 7850 1GB GDDR5 OC - 193$
Gainward 560Ti 1GB GDDR5 GS - 205$
Gaiward Phantom 560Ti 1GB GDDR5 - 205$

GS stands for Golden Sample for Gainward's cards (1st 560Ti).

I'm not sure which one is the best for me.

I'll be using 21.5 to 24" monitor with 1920x1080 resolution.
I want to play BF3, Metro 2033, Crysis 2 with at least 30 fps on 1920x1080 (lowest details).

I will be probably getting:
Phenom II x4 965 BE with GA 990FXA UD5 MB.
Or
i3 3220 with ASRock B75 PRO3

If I were to get 3rd 1, I'd Crossfire it eventually, but if I were to get 560Ti, the chances for SLI are way lower (and only possible if I go with AMD)

I already have Cooler Master GX 650W, so OCed Phenom II + 2 OCed GPUs must not go higher than 600-620w.
