Moreover I plan to build 3570 (or 3770) + 6870 soon Big Grin
Nvidia GTX 560.

I'd say avoid AMD from my personal experiences. If you plan on going for a 6870, go xfx or sapphire or msi. XFX includes double lifetime warranty(meaning if you plan on giving your card away the new user will still have a lifetime warranty). Which is a big plus. MSI and Sapphire are both very respectable brands for AMD cards and are well known for their accessories, they always include some adapters a few molex > 6 pin which is an awesome bonus as these are usually round the 5$ each. You decide.
XFX no longer give that warranty, although I think my HD6950 came with a 60 month warranty (5 years) which is longer than anything else I've seen, and why I'm against changing the BIOS to make it an HD6970 until I really need the extra stream processors to be unlocked.

Except 7770 has unexpectedly low performance in dolphin, as do all HD7xxx series cards.

I don't think we actually know that. We've seen 2-3 people with issues, that doesn't necessarily mean that all of the HD7xxx series of cards have issues. A lot of people just don't know what they're doing sometimes, lets wait for a few more reports before we give those cards a bad name. I think it might be a bit premature at this point.

I agree. What we need is another GPU benchmark to attract some attention from users. We're getting performance information on recent cpus and gpus way too slowly.
