Best solution

that processor is not compatable with those motherboards look into the i5 2xxx series they are faster and compatable with the mobo. if you are oc'ing why i think you should because it is so easy with these new processors get the i5 2500k and the asrock p67 pro3 if you wont sli/cf and the asrock p67 extreme4 if you will go sli/cf
go with the 6850 for your gpu it is slightly faster and gives a better picture while watching movies- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
the max you will need with the 6850 is a 650w psu (that would be for cf)
if not go with this psu- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
