Old Build, New Card?

[LovelyCoZe]

Hello! The graphics card in my current built finally went kaput and I was wondering if I should replace it with the exact same model or if there might be a better option. Here's what I'm working with:

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3
Processor: i7-2600K Sandy Bridge
RAM: CORSAIR 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3
Old Graphics Card: Radeon HD 6870
OS X Lion 10.7

Looks like I can find a replacement card for around $150-$200 but if there is a better option in the same price bracket, why not upgrade?
Thanks for any advice anyone may have.

This card is 190 AR on Newegg right now. The Asus and MSI (Twin Frozr) are about the same price and just as good.
