one Q.
why will you get 2 4850's instead of a an x2 card? i mean,
if you're spending over 3,4k on the pc? if you get an x2,
you can get another x2 in crossfire if you need one. will
need bigger power then tho, 850w. and is that stuff below
all extra's?

Question N1: How much do you intend to spend on a new PC?
Question N2: Why'd you want 2x 4850, while you can take 4870x2 or even 2 of them >.<
Take Razer DeathAdder instead of G9, DA is more precise, and what are the RAMs? I suggest Corsair Dominators 2x2GB in dual-channel, DDR2-1066 (OC till 1200~)and it must be C5DF in the end of product's code.
Or even some Crucial 4GB set, they OC very good and are very fast.
32 MB Cache 7200rpm > 16 MB Cache 10K rpm
Be more specific on the parts, it's hard to advise you something when we don't know the exact parts.
P.S.
My comments on parts are only suggestions, use them or not, your choice.
