The 245 will slow you down quite a bit, but your results will still be pretty good compared to a 250. If you can overclock it (unless you already have) then that will get you a few more fps.

What motherboard do you have, that way we can see what is the max cpu you can have

Cheers for the advice guys .

No, for the 5850 you will need a good quality 500 watt power supply, with around 40 amps on the +12V rail(s)

different to the response I got here .. http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18113797 who is right?
