Help me choose an amd rig

If you have $850 to spare, either go i7 or wait and go i7. That is the way to go.

GeForce GTX 260

I have enough experience with slow CPUs with fast GPUs and you will be terribly bottlenecked. Going for a better CPU may be a better decision. Going for a cheap rebuild with E5200 won't cost much and is recommended. If you have to go for GPU bound titles, then don't waste anything over a 4830...

CF 4850x2 or 1 4870x2

Will my PSU cut it???

There are some reviews out there. The thing is whether the PSU will be powerful enough or not?

Wireless Combo...

I am looking for a good wireless keyboard and mouse in 2-3k. I do a lot of gaming so the mouse must be at least as good as a MX 518. I am willing to purchase locally or get it through KMD(local dealer who imports).

ATI Radeon 4890 in April?

Too expensive, a 4850X2 @ 250$ is cheaper and performs better.
