You need to ensure that your power supply is sufficient to need the needs of whatever video card you install.

What make/model of power supply are you using now?

I wouldnt be as much worried about the bottleneck as I would be about actually finding that card at those prices.
As the stores that usually still have cards that old in stock are selling them at outrageous prices.

I'd grab a HD7770 personally, slightly slower, but far lower power consumption and very high OC headroom (about 15% from my experience ) . It's usually available cheaper too where I live. :)

the 6850 has far more than 200% of GPU power as a 9500GT from rough guess.
The best Nvidia card in that range would be the GTX460 which..it self is even more rare now.

Stick to the plan, HD6850 or HD7770. :)

The HD7770 will have lower power requirements than a 6850, that I'll say.
As for the performance, don't worry. I once had a client built with it, played BF3 multiplayer at1080p just fine.
