Better. We still don't know jack about this 700W PSU, so you might still have issues.

"700W PSU" is not enough info.

The Raidmax Sagitta is not a very well cooled case, and if you are running two 4850s you will need better air flow.

8GB is a waste if this is just a gaming machine. Put the money into a better case or faster processor.

Hmmm, I could have sworn I just read a review in which that PSU burned...checking...

Edit: Ah yes, here: http://www.hardocp.com/article/2008/05/13/getting_best_buy_on_power_supply/
I would not trust it to power a pair of 4850s, especially since the heat in the case will de-rate it.
This is the one I'd choose: Antec Truepower New 750W, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371025
It is more than needed, but getting the 650W version only saves $5.

 

[Proximon]

Yep. Rocketfish is not a good brand PSU.

 

[FallenSniper]

Isn't rocketfish like a best buy brand?

And my recommendation goes to the Corsair 750W
