Nvidia GeForce GT240 or ATI HD5670

Been researching and narrowed it down to these two. I'm a casual gamer and I'm looking for a good card for under $100. Plus low power output.

At first I was leaning towards the HD5570 but from the reviews I've read, even though almost identically to the HD5670, it under-performs it by a noticeable amount but the price difference is very little.

I'm thinking of going with the GT240 even though its not DX11 compatible(?) but I don't think I need that feature soon I guess.

Also the memory on the graphics cards makes it so it uses less system memory right? Or do games use pretty much the same amount of system memory regardless of a graphics card?
