go with first option. just get a descent power supply, like Corsair VX550W or something like it if u don't wish see your system go up in smoke.

I have coolermaster extreme 600W psu.. will it will be ok if I run 5850

I dont think so. CM Extreme series are not reliable.

but my friend has the same card and it is running fine on CM extreme plus 600W PSU.. moreover, Should i go for ATI or Nvidia graphics card, which is better option. Also MSI or XFX ??

ati is better value for money...and avoid xfx as its distributer is rashi peripherals...msi would be good...but search for the cheapest option...

Well......I would suggest to go for ATI and get the MSI HAWK. You can look at Sapphire too. But do avoid CM's Extreme Power series.

+1 to HAWX. another option is the VapourX series, but pretty useless until & unless you want squeeze out last Mhz out of the GPU & the memory. also price wise, its too high.

I had the same PSU some time back....try to sell it, it would go for some Rs2000. Get a decent PSU like the 550VX or something like that (CM GX550 also fine).

anyways, its not wise to get some overclocked/aftermarket cooled cards, the stock cooler is good and you will not gain a lot from extreme overclocking (only synthetics maybe). I would say, get a new PSU, then after a few months, get some cash and get a 5850.

If you need help with selecting the right PSU, please refer this guide
