I want to replace my current graphic card with a new one. I can spend 600$ maximum. But I don't want my system bottleneck my new graphic card. What would you recommend me?

i7 920 @ 3.8 GHz
Asus P6T SE
AMD Radeon 5870
Corsair 6 GB 1600MHz
High Power 1000W
Cooler Master 922

Many thanks
 
get a 7950 windforce, the best i can get for 260$ish, and get some h100i :D

I can second this. I have an almost identical setup with a Xeon W3520 (which is the Xeon equiv of the 920).

I just picked up the Gigabyte HD 7950 3GB Windforce Edition, and it's amazing. Absolutely superb performance for the price, and despite having 3 fans on the card, it's surprisingly quiet at the higher fan speeds.

The HD 7950 is definitely the best bang for the buck right now. The green camp has some decent competition in the 660 TI (670 is too much more for too little gain), but with current pricing, you can pickup the AMD card for a better deal if you look hard enough.

+1 for the 7950 I was gona get this but since I am getting an Nvidia 3d Vision ready monitor I went for the GTX 670 instead.

The SAPPHIRE 7950 Vapor‑X can beat the gtx670, gtx680 when over clocked apparently
 
I also would go with the Windforce. I ended up picking up a GTX680 Classified but only because my system could handle it.
