The 5970 is the clear winner here. It will run circles around that 6870.

The 5870 is faster than a 6870 which is on par with a 5850 and will work best with your 500 watt. I would upgrade your monitor as well to a larger resolution. A 5970 would be pointless unless you are running a multi monitor setup with high resolutions.

For a single 1080P monitor a 5870 will be plenty, no need for the 5970.
