decent enough

[merquis00]

now that the new "R series" amd cards are out, you can pick up the still fairly fresh 7x series for cheap

like this 7970 3GB @ £133 - postage included :

I am still rocking a 7870 Tahiti and it plays everything i have (although, i dont have bf3 so cant comment on that)

What's the difference between nvidia and amd ?

Not much really.

AMD tend to cater better to the low end cards over Nvidia and both have great mid-top end cards. I've had high end cards from both and my personal opinion is that Nvida drivers seem far more stable than AMD.

I'd be aiming at 3GB VRAM on any card now if you want it to be relevant for a couple of years.

Is the card that merquiss linked alright ? 3gb 7970

Yep, that will do the trick.

The numbers are irrelevant as you can buy 6 series cards that will out perform 7/8 series cards.

I'm still rocking a pair of GTX 680 4gb cards and I've yet to find anything that they can't handle at a high FPS. They run Battlefield 3 at 140 fps with everything maxed out (That's the last game I benchmarked with them).
