Please clear my deep doubt about the [SAPPHIRE HD 7850 1 GB Non OC Edition]

New HD 7850's introduced by Sapphire . I am in a deep confusion and doubt now since this will be my first GPU i am sure i will get help .
i am getting a pretty good deal to get SAPPHIRE HD 7850 1 GB standard edition with Core 860 Mhz and 1024 x steam processors ( please click this LINK how actually is this card if we compare with the MSI twin frozr GTX 560 ti OC edition . My Monitor Resolution is limited to 1336x768 , i know its pretty low so i might upgrade this to full HD in few months. So is the SAPPHIRE HD 7850 1 GB i mentioned above a future proof ? or should i consider Overclocking it ?

Thanks a lot in advance for everyone's help really very much appreciated and sorry for my bad english.


Rest of my specs :
Asus P8 H61 M -LX
Core i5 3450 ivy bridge processor
Seasonic 520 Watts PSU .
Corsair vengance 4 GB DDR3 RAM.

I am from India and the price is around 13k i guess its US $ 235 around. I will be playing BF3 , Crysis 2 , almost every new games.
at full HD 1080p with 1 GB are you really sure i will be facing trouble with this card ? what if i overclock , since this card got good cooling and over clocking capability. Just the 1 GB might hold me back , if thats the case what about the specs of this Card ? is it enough for a FuLL HD if this card was in 2 GB ?

that's kind of steep for a Non 2 GB Model but Then again the products there may incur import and tariff fees. Honestly Id Either get a 2 GB Model or Move up to a 7870 2GB Model.
