Well its a good mid/high area performance card.
Its usually best to post full system specs when asking a performance based question because while its a decent card its no good you looking at buying one if the rest of your system is not a decent match for the card.
Here is a full review of the card http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/GeForce_GTX_560_TOP_Direct_Cu_II/1.html

what will be the resolution you are using?


for 1080p, gtx 560 is not very good.
atleast get the "Ti" version, the "gtx 560Ti"

The 560 "Top" which the op is looking at getting performs the same as the standard "Ti" card

While a 560 Top would be fine in general at 1920 x 1080 it would fall short in the more demanding games. So if you want to run the newest games at 1920 x 1080 then i would be looking at a 6950 or a GTX 570.
