Honestly at that resolution even a 6770 would work great. 1080p is 70% more pixels so it needs more power. The 6850 would therefore work fine for you, although the 6870 would help if you get a new monitor.

Is the GTX 560 not available? There's the 560 Ti and then the 560 (non Ti) which performs around 6870 levels but has more OC head room IMO. The 6870 is already clocked really high.

hd 6870 will be the best option for that resolution and can max every game with some aa and agreed with wolfram23 that it will help you to get an new monitor in future but for now it will be ok and if ur waiting for price drop or if you can wait two or three months then hd 78xx will be better choice but for now hd 6870 will be the best option.:)
