I'm about to build my first gaming computer and I'm getting the HIS ICEQ4 4850. I want a power supply that will be able to run two of them in crossfire in the future just in case I feel like upgrading. I'm a total noob so I don't really understand the amps and wattage stuff. This is the power supply that I am looking at:

Here is a link to ATI's certified PSU list, seems like it should be ok.

That is plenty of power for two 4850s. I'd recommend a modular power supply. Makes cleaning up the inside of your case easy if you care about that sort of thing. Anything from Antec is top notch though.

Ya that's plenty of power for your ICEQ4 and will handle CF well.

I'd definitely go with the modular, I have a Corsair 750TX and I'm wishing I got the 620HX for the modular design. Simplifies cable management beautifully. They are a little more on the price side but def worth it!
