The HD6870 was a decent card in it's day and whatever you pick you're unlikely to be making an enormous step up, even though it's getting a bit antiquated.

You'll likely be shopping amongst GTX750Ti, R7 265, R9 270 models but there's also the possibility you'll come across leftover models from the previous generations within budget due to discounting, like the GTX660 or HD7870.

It kinda depends where you are buying, which retailers etc, and what is on offer.
Sticking by the current ranges and the standard pricing, it's likely an R9 270 is the strongest card you'll find but it's going to be pretty close to your max budget.
