sorry, gotta disagree on this
OP, you shouldnt get a graphics card of 60-100 bucks, get at least a midrange card
above the HD5/6770 which is around 100 bucks
You wont regret buying those
i have 2 PC's, never had a problem using the 6770, except for battlefield 3
Intel is extremely overpriced but its worth the cash, i'd say go for an AMD quadcore, most are around 120 bucks
Battlefield 3 apparently requires amazing graphics cards to play at the highest of settings. My friend is saving 3000 euros for a new graphics card so he can play at the highest settings.
Also, unless you want to do extreme multi-tasking then a dualcore will perform better than quadcore. I don't really want to go into detail about the physics of why but yeah, to keep it short... 4 cores are unneccessary for most peoples desires.
