I played MaxPayne3 on a HD7850 at 1920x1080 with most settings turned up (went easy on the AA though) and it played just fine. That is assuming you can find one within your budget.
How old is your PSU? This could be the culprit. I also had coil whine with two different 7950s, a GTX 770, and a GTX 780. Finally decided it must be my system so changed PSU. Coil whine gone.
Overclock that CPU especially if you are on a P45 board, should easily hit 4Ghz like someone said. Even if it is P35 or x38/x48 board, still will probably hit 3.7Ghz. Those core2quads are still potent, but that have to be overclocked in order to hang with newer hardware. There are plenty of...
