I'm so confused on what graphic card to get under $260. Please recommend the best brand as well.

My main use of the card is gaming(such as BBC2, Crysis Warhead, Crysis 2, and Split/Second). Will the HD 5870 do?

Usally the 6950 only wins by 5fps on average.Compare the 560 to the 6950 and the 6950 creates a lot more heat and noise.I'd rather loose that 5fps than bake my computer.And i'm already dealing with a XFX6870 that has a really really loud fan so i'd opt for the quieter and cooler card.And for the money the 560 defnitly gets more points because it's cheaper yet it performs almost identical to the 6950 with a lot less heat and noise.
