Hi there this is my first time posting here.

As noon I don't know much about pc gaming or much about PC's in general so sorry if I get the most obvious things wrong.

So to the question...
My friend has given me a good PC the specs for it are:Xigmatek Asgard Gaming Case
Corsair CX 430W PSU
Intel Core i3 3220 3.3GHzIvy Bridge Processor
ASUS P8B75-M LX Motherboard
4GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600MHz RAM
Intel Integrated HD Graphics
Seagate Barracuda 500GB SATAII 7200rpm Hard Drive
High speed DVD and CD Rewriter
7.1 Surround Sound Audio
2 Front & 4 Rear USB 2.0 and 2 Rear USB 3.0 Ports
Gigabit Ethernet

So I was wondering if I get a half decent graphics card will this computer be able to play games like black ops 2, battlefield 3 and the like many thanks for any help

Thanks for any help

You didn't answer the question about the resolution you'll be playing at, which is fairly critical in finding a video card for your needs. The question of budget also remains; what is a tight budget for you? $100? $200?
 
Something like a Radeon 7770 might be good for you, especially at that resolution. You can read some reviews to check fps in the games you wish to play.
 
The 6570 is approximately $50, which is a far cry (in percentage terms) from the $100 budget you mentioned initially. Which is it?
 
Well, what you need to consider is the steepness of the performance/price curve at your price point. Spending an extra £30 will give you significantly more graphics power. I don't know which website you're purchasing from, but as far as I can tell, the 7770 is not appreciably more expensive than the 6670, but is much faster.

TL;DR -> at your budget, I'd spend every bit there is to spend.
