It goes GTX 560 Ti > HD 6870 > GTX 560.

The reason I said the the HD 6870 is better than the GTX 560 is that it delivers the same performance while being cheaper and using less power.

The GTX 560 Ti is around 6% faster than both, so it really depends on if your willing to spend the extra cash on the GTX 560 Ti as it can overclock to very high speeds.
 
Well from what I can see the 560Ti>560>6870 in general. The prices match the expected outcome, so if your tight on budget the 6870 should be the cheapest (~$160-180 here in the U.S.). The 560 is about $180-200 U.S. and the 560Ti is about $230-250 depending on where you go.

I would get at least a quality 500w PSU for your needs. If you think that your going to have 2 of these cards in the future, or a more power hungry GPU later, than I'd opt for 550w or greater, depending on your requirements. Antec/Seasonic/Corsair/PCP&C are all good brands of PSU's. I would make sure that you get at least a PSU with 2 x 6 + 2 pin (8 pin) PCI-e power connectors for your GPU of choice. If you can find one with 4 x 6 + 2 pin PCI-e power connectors, you will be set for a SLI/X-fire setup.

Just curious:
* What is your setup currently?
* What resolution are you gaming under?

i am gamer with gt 430
i played battlefield 3 but low fps so suggest me good gpu
thanks pls reply soon

 
Well for the $ the 6870 is a good GPU to get. The 560 is on par with the 6870 and consumes a bit more power and generates some more heat (depending on design of the GPU of coarse). The 560Ti is good too, but costs about $70 more than the 6870. So for the price/performance and at your resolution the 6870 is the winner, if your going with those 3 options.

Personally if I was considering other upgrades, I'd consider getting 4 gb's of DDR2 (total) and possibly than upgrading the Monitor to something with 1600 x 900 resolution or better. But this is just my opinion.

I think your best upgrade path is getting the 6870 GPU w/an additional 2 gb's of DDR2, so you'd be at 4 gb's of DDR2 and have a good GPU too for about the same as the 560Ti GPU :)

Edit: Just checked out your mobo specs, and you'd need to buy 2 x 2 gb sticks to get 4 gb's or RAM, since your mobo only has 2 DDR2 RAM slots on it. 4 gb sets (2 x 2 gb's) are going for about $50-70 here in the U.S., so I don't know if that would fit into your budget, but I'd seriously would consider upgrading the RAM to 4 gb's too. You didn't mention what OS your running on, but if your on a 32 bit OS (Windows XP/Vista/7) than you'd only be seeing about 3-3.5 gb's of usable RAM. Upgrading to 4 gb's might not be as effective of an upgrade with a 32bit OS, but it would definitely help out.

The CPU does the game physics and other computation, and then lets the GPU render the frame to display.

If your GPU is more powerful than your CPU, your GPU will finish rendering the previous frame, but the CPU will not have done its computations to let the GPU render the next frame.

In this case, its said that the CPU bottlenecks the GPU.

This is also dependent on the type of games you play. MMO type of games like Skyrim and Starcraft use the CPU more than FPS games like the CODs. Since you're looking at Battlefield 3, a Core 2 series processor should be adequate.

As lunyone said, consider upgrading your monitor to enjoy your games better - the cards you're looking at will easily support 1920x1200 and beyond.

The Ti is a good choice, go for it. Please see lunyone/my comment about a monitor upgrade too. You'll appreciate the improvement in gameplay with the added resolution.
 
I'd rather upgrade to the 6870 w/4 gb's of RAM and get a ~$120 U.S. 1920 x 1080 resolution monitor. This will give you more resolution for your games and also get you up to 4 gb's of RAM. The GPU is important, but at 1366 x 768 your not going to see much difference between a 6870 or a 560 Ti, IMHO.
