I am looking for a graphic card for playing games at 1920x1080 resolution.

My system Specs are:

Phenom II x4 955 BE
ASUS M4N75TD (750a sli)
4GB 1600 Mhz ddr3
Cooler Master Elite 430 Cabinet (5 case fans)
1 TB 7200 RPM SATA and a 500GB regular Sata
Cooler Master GX 750W PSU


Please suggest me a graphic card that can run the newest games at 1080p.

I'm sure there will be AM3+ boards that support SLI, just like your AM3 board does but crossfire will be much more common. Supposedly Nvidia charges $5 per motherboard for SLI certification while Crossfire is free. This is why every dual slot board(except ironically those with an Nvidia chipset like yours) supports Crossfire while SLI is more rare.
As for whether or not you should get the HD5850... it's up to you I guess. An Nvidia card like the GTX 560 Ti will give you the option of SLI in the future. Like I said earlier it is about 20% faster but costs about $100(or 71%) more. So you are paying quite a premium for the extra performance + SLI option. Whether or not it is worth it is up to you.
