The 4870 is a good card for your system I think unless you are planning to upgrade the whole thing anytime soon in which case I would recommend spending more on a card that you can continue to use later on (like a 5000 series ATI card or GTX 285). Or you could just spend a bit more and upgrade to a 4890 or GTX260 (~$200)
