HD4850. What is the PSU/SMPS that you have. This card need a 500W PSU.

I seriously doubt if it could drive 8600GT, forget about HD4850.

how much can you spend for PSU? upto 5k?

I am thinking of Tagan TG600-U33 600W for 5.5k

I dont think that would be needed. Corsair HX450 or something like that for ~3k is sufficient.

Wait for 1-2 months; we'll see 4870 almost falling into the range. :)

^^ Its VX450- and the cost is 3.9k. Prices have increased since 2-3 months now.
iBall will surely destroy the system with 4850. its obvious that its a sub standard power supply. Ati 4850 takes 110w on max load so you will need to connect the 6 pin pcie connector. Its obvious in this day of age that you need to have a proper supply, takes lesser wattage from the socket and solves more than half of the problem on the pc. As I say in many forums, if you cant afford a decent enough power supply, dont bother buying a decent enough system. If you really want to know how to choose a proper power supply, here's the guide:

You can count in the following:

Core 2 E4600
DG31PR Mo-bo
HD4850 GFX card
320GB HDD 7200 rpm
1GB x 2 DDR2

I can spend around 5k - 7k for PSU. I am also looking for a good cooling system, I can spend around 3k for that.
Please suggest. :D
