He's in Australia.

HD4850 is definitely the better deal, it beats the 9800GTX and is competitive with the 9800GTX+

ye um u got ot remeber those u posted us links to video cards on newegg i am in australia once the price converted from us dollars to au dollars here i wil be paying 280 for it so no point getting from there, think i wil go for the 4850, atm i got like 80 or 90mm exhaust fan a another 90mm fan and a air cooler on cpu kinda hot here atm comp usually idles at like 44-46 atm it is like 50+ yes yes i no hot but that is austrlia 41+ degrees here atm no point in wasting 500 bucks on cooling **** when it is this hot wil only drop the temp by a degree or 2 , guess ill have to find a 4850 in au with a exhaust like a iceq4 or something like that

Either would be a sound choice.
If you do buy either and have temperature issues, you can always use the Control Centre to lower the clockspeeds and cool them a little more.

Yes, the ATI Control Panel is what I meant, go into that, activate Overdrive and lower the clockspeeds there, it`s just something that might be a problem in such a hot part of the world.
