Am planning on to upgrade my GPU to get better FPS in diablo 3 ROS, because normal I get 100+ FPS, but during Party/groups fights where things are flying around its can really drop. Ofcouse some of it can be server is heavy loaded, but during 40-60ms, its kinda drop. From the reviews I see that a GTX 270X should double my fps from my 6850.

The Question is can my current CPU get all the power of the 270? i think 280 little exspensive compared to the gain and that i only play diablo

I do not like to spend too much money. I just upgrade my ram from 4 GB to 8 GB. Sometimes is using 5-6 GB!
My power supply should be okay ANTEC: PSU/High Current Gamer HCG-620

Yes i ment 270.

Do you think my CPU could use atleast 85 % of the power of 270?

Hard to say since I'm not an expert on bottlenecking but you should get a performance boost of some kind
and if you don't (if the bottleneck happened to be extremely bad) you should upgrade your CPU to be on par with the GPU and your performance would be really good.
