Yes, your CPU will bottleneck both cards. But if you will get a new CPU and motherboard in April then get the 4850. The problem I am seeing is the PSU. Although it is of a good brand I don't think it will handle the 4850 which consumes a lot of power. If you could upgrade the PSU to a good 450W one then you will be all set for the new GPU and future upgrades.
