Should i get one? this one to be specific- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161400

id sell my 7850 for ~70$, so would it be worth my 60$ to upgrade it?

You triple your VRAM and basically get an R9 280. I say it's worth for $60

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

as a owner of a 7950, and a 7970, I can play far cry 4 max settings(besides AA) and keep 60 fps almost constant. on just the 7950

7950 is still pretty boss at 1080p. OC it to 1150Mhz and you'll have quite a bruiser.

 

EDIT: Opps, I just looked at the model your talking about... the single orb fans are pretty terrible... is your 7850 2GB or 1GB?

5820K - ASUS X99-A - 16GB Corsair LPX - HD 7970 GHz - Qnix 1440p @ 96Hz - Waiting for Polaris/Pascal

Okay, then it's probably worth it. I would also take a look at the NZXT G10 route; it's a lot cheaper.
