So with my recent purchase of Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim I figured i might as well upgrade my Graphics card. its a ATI 6570 Radeon HD card and i was thinking i would go to a least 6870.

Current Specs in attachment from my dxdiag. i also have a 350W power supply that i would most likely need to upgrade to, i am thinking, a 500 W at least.

The AMD Radeon 6570 card is a good one. It is the latest generation of AMD Radeon cards.

Try the game with it before you consider any upgrades.

Personally, I would never upgrade from one card to another card of the same generation.

AMD Radeon 7xxx series is coming in the first quarter of next year...

I have yet to get Skyrim, but I may end up upgrading my video card as well, but the other issue I have is that the fan is going out the door on it. So its not just a performance upgrade, but also a functionality upgrade. I have no doubts that Skyrim can run on my current video card, since it runs New Vegas just fine.

What resolution do you want to play on and what is the native resolution of your monitor?
