I appreciate the help guys, so since I'm only going to use 1 monitor, it's seems as though a nvidia card is the right choice?

"Subject to RMA", as I've said on my previous post.

It's a matter of preference and necessity.
Go Nvidia if you need to make use of CUDA cores or you prioritize BF3, since the higher price will justify it.
Go AMD if you want to have the most out of you money since it outperforms it in the same price.
