Graphic Cards Replacement for my HD 4870 ??

Recently my HD 4870 went kaput and i am looking for a replacement , i will be using it basically for light gaming & some video encoding, i don't care much about AA and looking for a card which will allow me to play the newest games at respectable FPS.

i was thinking of HD 5770 but seems its ancient history :facepalm: and stopped following the GFX scene long back so no clue which budget GFX cards to look for (frankly the market is flooded with AMD Rx and Nvidia GT/GTX series which really confused me ). my budget is between 5-7 K and my Config is below.

Q9550 with Thermalright Ultima
Abit IP35-E
6 GB Ram (Gskill Pi + OCZ extreme)
Corsair hx650 PSU
Viewsonic 19'
Chieftech Mid tower cabinet


kindly suggest.
 
depends on a lot of things :) what is respectable frames per second ? 30 ? 45 ? 60 ? At what resolution do you intend to play ? 1080p ? and newest games doesnt say much unless you state the genre atleast ( fps / rpg / strategy / puzzle ) . Assuming you have figured out all of that - id say Sapphire 7770 for that price, but thats just me shooting in the dark.
