If you wanna get a new card like 6850 then you should change your PSU first as CM Extreme series has very poor reputation.

For CPU Cooler, get something like Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO @ 2K.
For PSU: Corsair CX 430 V2 @ 2.3K
For Gfx card: MSI Cyclone OC HD 6850 @ 8.6K

are you gonna sell your old gpu?? that can fetch you about 3k...
if yes then buy corsair gx600-3.3k and nvidia 560-10.5k..

otherwise go with what cilius suggested...
cooler would be CM hyper 212 evo in both case....
