GeForce GTX 550 Ti Vs. Radeon HD 6870

[kryilce]

Which should I get? Or is there better cards for cheaper price? I'm looking for $170 or less.

I will be running this with a Phenom II x4 955, 550W PSU, on this motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157280

The 6870 is definetly a much better card then a 550Ti and you will get much better performance from the 6870 , acording to the TH chart it is two levels above the 550Ti.
