From the Wolfenstein requirements news:

I guess I can't play it, my 5850 is starting to limit me... although I know it basically performs the same as the 6850. But that CPU ... like an i7 4770 is the same as an i7 920, right?

Well, there really isn't an "AMD Equivalent" to a Haswell/Sandy Bridge-E/Ivy-Bridge-E i7 processor, so one can assume they're talking about a nahelem (I.E. Core i7 920/860) derivative as a baseline.
For AMD that would mean a Phenom 2 x4/x6 or newer and any quad-core Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, Haswell or newer/better would be more than enough.

You *could* get away with a heavily overclocked Core 2 Quad or Athlon 2/Phenom 1 though as a Core 2 Quad @ 3.6-4ghz is going to be faster than an i7 860.

As for the GPU, overclock! :P
Things are cooling down in Australia as we are about to enter Winter, so my clocks can go a little bit higher. :D

And yet here in Spain we are heading to summer, and with no AC and a case like the Antec P183 (albeit with extra fans), overclocking isn't the most sensible thing to do
