If $60 is your budget, don't go for SLI or CF. Low end cards make for a tremendous amount of micro-stutter when paired up. Stay with a single card.
The HD 6570 is about the best you can do without going over budget: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709%204026%20600083901%20600144218&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&Order=RATING&PageSize=20
It should run MW3 at medium settings at 720p resolution or lower... but not until you upgrade your CPU. But I'm assuming you know you can't put an Intel CPU in that AMD board. The make/model of the MB should be printed on it around the graphic card area somewhere.

If you have a motherboard with an AMD Athlon II X2 processor in it, that board definitely will NOT accept an Intel i3 processor.

The Athlon II X2 260u processor and the i3-3220 processor take totally different sockets and associated chip sets. You are confused about something, I'm afraid.
Athlon II X2 260u's AM3 Socket: http://www.techspot.com/articles-info/137/images/Image_06.jpg
Intel i3-3220's LGA1155 Socket: http://www.legitreviews.com/images/reviews/1501/socket_1155.jpg

Which one does your socket look like?
