Yes it will no problems. Hd5850 only needs a 500watt psu

The 650 would be more than fine.

For that kind of overclock you'll need good cooling

I'd recommend

Not sure how good the XFX cooler is

BTW, you'll need to increase the voltage yourself for 1Ghz core.

I could be mistaken but believe you need an MSI or Asus card to modify the voltage to achieve a high overclock. The other cards can do so as well but you would have to flash them with a bios from one of the cards that can. For $330 this would be the one to get;

Looks like a nice cooler, but if you want to save some money by flashing the bios this is a nice deal;

Not really. The card runs very cool and even the standard cooler is supposedly fine for a high OC.

You can adjust the voltage on any HD5850, I have a Gigabyte HD5850 and can adjust the voltage with MSI Afterburner. You don't need an ASUS or MSI BIOS.

Yeah the stock cooler is fine for 1000/1200 if you love the sound of a jet engine... The stock cooler is good, no doubt about it, just not for extreme overclocks.
