Hey guys, I have been out of the PC gaming side of comupters for a while and have recently started getting back into it with MSFSX, COD, and etc. I want to pick up a better video card than the 5550 I have now. I am running an Athlon 2 X3 450 (unlocked to 4 cores) with a single video card capable board: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131673
What I am looking for is simple. I want to spend just enough to get my by at decent (not high, or even medium really) settings in BF3, and I want to be able to turn Flight Sim X up all the way. So with this in mind, what do you guys recommend? I have been looking at these cards, but I could be way off:

Will those work? Can I get by with less? I just can't justify a $300 video card with as much as I play REALLY graphics heavy games, so I just want enough to get by with my requirements above.
Thanks!
