Total VA combined (500W Thermaltake PSU and dell 19" ) is 139VA, I don't think you have anything to worry about at this point.

For a 19" monitor an HD4850x2 is overkill, your CPU would be a bottleneck for the card, and depending on which TT PSU you have the 12V amps may not be enough to handle it. Go with an HD4770 instead.

Thank u for ur advice

How about 4890 1gb if i want to play all the latest game with all high settings. I read review of 4770hd and its drawback is its low memory and in my country its price is 9000tk($132) and 4890 1gb is 25000tk($367). 4890 1gb price is very high comparing 4770 512 Mb but i would like to play at least 1 and half year without any prob. I will upgrade in Phenom soon. What u think let me know.

IMO you don't need 1GB of video memory for a 19" monitor (assuming it's 1280x1024), but you could get HD4850 with 1GB.
