you don't need a 850 watt PSU. 600 would be more than enough even if you crossfire in the future.

I don't know those cards eat a lot of juice. 600w would probably be enough, but considering the quickly increasing power requirements of gpu's, I'd say 800w minimum for a rig like that to keep it running longer.

Not that any one has talked about around these parts, the only thing you might run into is needing to flash the BIOS on the board to a newer one to support the 45nm CPU.

I can get a 4850 for $165 but a 4870 would cost me $309 that is almost a $150 difference.

I am going to be using this for everything, plus games will probably use more cores in the future.
