You might want to upgrade your RAM and processor for that 4780.

Depending on your motherboard...

Not quite sure about the 5200+, but the 7850BE or the 955 would kill a bottleneck

You'll be getting a bottleneck with that setup, no question about it.

Assuming it's for gaming...What resolution will you be playing at? The effect may vary depending on your res.
