I would just go with russiansensation's suggestion for that Awesome vapor-x 4890 on the cheap. Then you're reaching stock 5850 terrirtory, and much higher than even OC'ed 5770 terrirtory, for what 10 or 15 bucks more?
I would go with the 5770 for these reasons. The chances of the 5770 outperforming the 4870/gtx260 with driver improvements and with direct x 11 games is very likely. I've noticed improved performance with every Amd card over time. With direct x 11 games, I think the improvement will be even greater.
