Yeah i'd go with the 560 or 570 if I were you, also with the 590 coming out next month there is bound to be price drops.

Just get a 560 mate.

The only reason to buy a red card at the moment imo right now is for eyefinity.

if you must xfire then yeah the 6950 but green team is winning hands down atm iirc the 560's and up beat a xfired 6950 setup in some benches. I went to a 560ti with my last upgrade and all I can say is WOW what a huge difference it made.

Good decision although you might want to go for the Gigabyte version that Tom reviewed earlier today.
