You might want to post this in one of the hardware forums, you'll get a better response.

FWIW, looks like a good build, you'll need a decent power supply (600W+) as the 4870s draw a lot of power at load.
Mem, are you going 64 or 32 bit OS? That will influence your choice somewhat.

Well i can tell you this with the money you have get a 500W power supply unless you want to run two GPU's and get just 4gb or cam from g-skill or something like that that should run you $60 +- for the RAM and you should be able to get a good PSU for less then 100! as for you GPU i say get the 1GB one to make sure you get the most out of it!

Hope this helps !
