Amd athlon ii x2 250 and HD 6850

Hey everybody, I'm going to upgrade my pc. But, I already have Biostar TA 79 GXE, AMD Athlon X2 250 3Ghz, 4gb RAM, 500gb HDD. At first I just want to change my graphic card to HD 6850 and a better PSU, but my concern is will my processor bottleneck HD 6850?
My budget is $250 and i use 1440x900 res. Do I have to buy a new processor as well? For 250$ what is the best way to upgrade my pc? (the graphic card doesn't have to be HD 6850)

Thanks a lot

Well not sure if you are going to appreciate my answer or not but I'd rather get a 6850, A basic antec PSU and a new AM3 Processor

I know it's a $25 more, but should do well. If you feel that you don't like spending more than $250 you can get the lower end 7750

i simply recommend getting a higher resolution monitor where cpu bottlenecking simply finishes!
