Software Usage Priority
Chrome(Maximum 5 tabs)
Adobe Master Collection CS6
HAWX 2

Future Plans
Nvidia Kepler Graphic card (That is the question about)
Will swap present WD Scorpio with intel 128GB SSD and will get 1TB drive for storage

Now i plan to get a graphic card. I essentially don't need but i feel like wasting my PC potential. You can see the above WEI link. My HD4000 can handle most of my GPU day to day task. So i might be needing for Premiere Pro and HAWX 2. Since i have plan to upgrade i might consider playing game such as Battlefield 3 or MOH Warfighter. I'm not a AVID gamer. Main upgrade is for to unlock the potential of my PC. So i don't want to buy a GPU which overpass my configuration AKA overkill. Since i use Premiere pro i don't want to buy AMD (They don't support MPE) I don't need official supported card from adobe since there is a way to make all nvidia card to work.

So suggest me a Nvidia 600 series card for my need?
 
For using CUDA in Adobe CS6, you're better off with a 500 series card. The compute performance of 600 series is not that good. I'd recommend the GTX 570 1280mb if it is still available new, it should cost around the same as GTX 660. GTX 560 Ti 448 cores is another good option.
 
Any 600 series card will produce a significant improvement in graphics settings over the embedded hd4000 in your CPU. Now in practice to make it worth your while for bf3 I would not go below a 660 as there is a sharp drop off in compute and gaming performance as well as a only being 1GB vram on the lower cards which isn't a good idea especially on your decent rig. A 660 or a 660ti will bring good graphics performance comparatively and allow you to play these games on medium to high settings depending on your preferred frame rate and resolution.

A new card should also allow hawx 2 to run on much higher settings. I wouldn't worry too much about the lower compute performance of 600 compared to 500 series cards unless that is your focus as the 600 cards are quite a bit better in other regards (noise, game performance etc).
 
A GTX 660 is the best bang for your buck. It's 70% faster than my GTX 460 1GB and has 2GB of RAM.And you SLI them (2-way only).
