You might have to finally retire that 4 year old 5850, JEMC. :P
At-least the rest of your rig is up to par for a gaming PC.

I wonder if there is going to be Mantle support? I could *really* use it if I intend to run it at 7680x1440 and can't keep the framerates up.

Well, I had to replace upgrade part of my PC because the mobo... kind of broke (the SATA ports were unreliable and killed my 1 month old SSD :,-( ). And given that the P55 line of boards were already gone, I had an i5-750, I had to change both the mobo and CPU. And get a new SSD, ofc.

About the GPU, I thought about getting an HD 7870 shortly after they were launched, it offered me more than 50% more fps while using the same power and costing the same as my card (250 €), but I decided to wait for the new 20nm ones.

So yeah, by the end of this year or beginning of 2015 I'll get a new GPU .

Probably a wise choice.
Or wait for the Bitcoin/Litecoin crash and grab a few high-end cards on the cheap. :)
