I've been looking at the 7850 cards for around £150 - £200

They are a great card for the money

I would keep your eye out for the weekly offers as you can get some good deals that way.

So far my upgrades are going to be as follows:

This week - Corsair Psu
Next month - SSD
Next six months - 7850 followed by i5 2500k

You want the i5 3570K and a Z77 board if you plan on overclocking, which I assume you are seeing as your buying a 'k' chip

YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £167.99
Total : £177.59 (includes shipping : £8.00).

How much is the board? Will this give a worthwhile increase in performance?

For the board your looking around £70-£90. Yes it will give a worthwhile increase in performance, and you can also overclock on a Z77 board.

If i'm going down the route of new mobo, cpu and GPU, will it not be worth Xfiring my 6850?
