Approximate Purchase Date: This week (however I will wait if recommended to wait for 6900 series)
Budget Range: 175-275$ (+/- a few dollars)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Movies, Entertainment purposes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.ca or ncix.com or tigerdirect.ca

Monitor Resolution: 1680x1050 but would like to be able to upgrade t 1920x1080 one day
So which GPU should i get the 6850 or 6870? I obviously want the best performance to price ratio... I play SC2/CSS i will be playing some newer games eventually like CODMF2, Black Ops etc. I dont need MAX settings but I would like the card to last and not be obsolete to fast...
I do not need MAX settings but i do like highish settings
So should i get a 6850 or 6870? Or should i wait for the 6900 series and see how they affect prices? Also what brands should i get?
