I'd get a 5850.

Later on; a CrossFire capable board and new CPU/RAM.

I play at 1920X1080 so will that card be able to get a nice 50-60 FPS with games at high settings(not so much crysis)?

When you play with more players the FPS will drop.

yes it will. I also think a 5850 would go nice with your system.
