Go for 6850

And if you have extra 20$ then get a 6870...

6870 is better than gtx 560 (non ti)

A GTX 550 Ti costs $119 after MIR the cheapest 6870 costs $144 after MIR...
More than $20, but thanks for the suggestion anyways!

Most modern games don't really benefit from more than 2 cores and the GPU I changed to an EVGA GTX 550 Ti for the same price as the Radeon 6770.
I will be upgrading allot later on but for now my budget is $550 (I know, not so much, but its what I have...).
Thanks for all the responses!

In terms of 3D graphic intensive gaming, the quad processors are clear winner due to their higher multitasking ability. Still, a dual core processor with a high clocking frequency works just as well.

Personally I would upgrade to a quad core if I was you. And if you are on a tight budget, wait a little while to save up that little amount more for better parts, it's well worth it.

Yea eventually I will be upgrading to a 2500K.
UPDATE: I updated the graphics card AGAIN to the GTX 460.
