ill chime in on this one. I game at the same res with a i3 2100 and a hd4870 1gb card. I dont play the games you listed but i play these all maxxed out with no issues.
Cod Mw3, La Noire, nba 2k12 and fallout new vegas.
I bought a gtx 460 768mb card the same time I got the hd4870 1gb because people said it was so much better of a card. I did not see a big enough difference to justify keeping the gtx 460 at this res with the games I play.
You have the witcher 2 and BF3 on your list and those games are really gpu dependent. I say go for it, get the card you are looking at and sit back and enjoy it. Your cpu is more then enough to push that card and you should be happy for at least a whole nother year
