Do you think thats a good choice? would love your opinion on which card would be best for me
It's a good card, very similar to what I'm using ( the older 6970 is in my rig). I wouldn't hesitate to put one of those in a machine.
If you wanted to upgrade to a card with performance in the ballpark of a Radeon HD 6770 or GeForce GTX 550 Ti, then a Radeon HD 7750 would be the way to go:

Comparable performance with much less power consumption and a newer feature set, and it's cheaper, too. But those cards arguably aren't fast enough to justify the upgrade.
A Radeon HD 7770 such as Storman linked would be the more sensible upgrade. Or you could get a GeForce GTX 560 if you wanted to stretch the budget a bit.
