Chaos is pretty dead on. It should be around the performance of the 5970. What motherboard are you looking to switch to?

GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD5 (12gb RAM) or ASUS RAMPAGE 2 EXTREME with only 6gb RAM

I'd get the Gigabyte. They've been kicking ass on X58. I probably wouldn't get 12GB of ram tho. I'd probably get 6GB, and throw the money I saved onto a better psu, or more storage.

A better PSU

EH, nevermind. Unless you can afford to jump to the HX1000, the 850 is fine. Grab more storage then. Maybe an SSD for the OS, and a 1TB for storage.
