Two issues I found.

1) The CPU may cause a bottleneck, and will be the weak link in your system.

2) The PSU is also on the smaller end of the scale, however I believe you should be able to get away with it.

AND MY MOTHER BOARD IS G41MT-S2P CAN I RUN HD 6850 IN THIS PCI EX SLOT? AND WHICH PCI EX VER IS WITH MY MOTHER BOARD? THANKS IN ADVANCE....

PCI-E 1.0 i believe. PCI-E slots are backwards compatible if your mobo supports 2.0 and yours does i think. Btw what os do you have ?
