Will the 7850 work with my CPU and motherboard?

My specs (that you need to know to answer the question):
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 3.0GHz
750w Corsair PSU

I'm upgrading from a Radeon HD 4870, so that should give you an idea of what my motherboard is like. I'm pretty sure my motherboard etc is compatible with the 7850 but I wanted to double check with some more tech savvy people, before I go ahead and buy it.

I'm planning on buying a new mobo and cpu soon, just can't afford to buy all these parts at once.

Thanks!

p.s. sorry if it seems like a stupid question.
 
You can try overclocking that CPU as well in the meantime for some better value from the new graphics.
 
If you dont plan on upgrading your CPU get the 7770, since it will bottleneck performance like said above, it will save you 50 bucks if money is tight.
