hi guys,

i wonder if my PSU will support a HD5850.

my specs are:

CM real power pro 650W
intel core2 3.4ghz(OC)
GA-EP45-UD3
2gb DDR2 1066(upgrading to 6gb)
1x dvd writer
1x 250gb HDD
EVGA GTS250(current)

And will i be able to and is it better to OC my CPU even more? its normal speed is 2.93ghz. i have a xigmatek achilles as my cpu cooler.
 
You may be bottlenecking your GPU with you CPU. Meaning that you have a really nice graphics card, but the processor simply can't keep up. also, 4gb should be enough memory for gaming.
 
i think my cpu works quite ok, since i can play metro2033 at 1600x900 with high graphics at quite reasonable framerates. only the background programs cause some choppiness but thats quite rare.
