For 1024x768 a 560 ti would be ok but when you get a new monitor and if it's going to be 1080p i'd go with the 570 not just to max every game but because it will last you a lot longer as well, pay now save later.

just a slight difference in red were the 560ti is better and green were the 570 has the edge

The clocks don't really matter as a gpu can be overclocked, just because the 560ti has higher clocks doesn't mean that is better.
It's like saying a 3.4ghz pentium is faster than a 2.6ghz quad core, if it's judged by the core speed.
The main difference is the amount of memory and the stream processors the 570 has, meaning the card itself has more bandwidth and the ability to overclock it means it can be much faster than the 560ti.
Take a look at this 560ti vs 570 comparison
edit: btw I would recommend the 570 or if you can afford it the 580, but if you can't justify spending that much money on a gpu a 560ti is also a very good card.

I was looking for some el-cheapo 480 cards, but they've vanished quick and the only ones I found were 3rd party @ £100 more >.< (which is why they aint selling I spect) You could have bought one and put a 570 sticker on it
570 will do you proud I'm sure. I wouldn't entertain any sli/xfire business when this one card will do it all for you.
Check you psu has connections and power enough for it too.

The chip on the 570 is different to that on the 560Ti, the clock speeds aren't really relevant.
If you stay with your current monitor, get a 560Ti
If you go to 1080p, get a 570
If you want it to last a while, get a 580
Look at the MSi Twin Frozr II/III/Lightning editions, the cooler is insane, and its quiet too.

The same cooler keeps a 580 really cool, so imagine what it would keep a 560Ti or 570 at.
Tbh, a 560Ti is still going to give good performance at 1080p too. The 570 is the best bet overall, its just up to your budget
i could spent £200 or there about on a card but more than £ 250 is a no no at this point..
howz spain bud ...

Its great thanks
But nothing happens during the day so I end up on the internet
560Ti Twin Frozr II £187
560Ti Twin Frozr II/OC £197 or so inc. shipping
560Ti Twin Frozr II/SOC £209, probably a bit higher with shipping, just doing a quick check
So the 560Ti hits the sweet spot, the570 can be had for around £260, but for your budget I think the 560Ti nails it
