If you just want a single card, then go for a 470, slightly faster than the 6870, though if youre thinking you may go dual cards in future, the 6870 offers better scaling so go for that
The GTX 470 is probably the best value card out now imho, at its current price point.
As to which brand, hopefully someone will chip in with a proper suggestion but from what I've read the cooler on the Gainward Good Edition should help keep the temps down.
