What are you looking to spend? For what you have now a good 550W PSU is fine, if you want to CF 4850s a good quality 750W.

That's my budget, I might could go over a little but money is tight.
Maybe I should stick with what I need now. Someone recommended LS-550 seams like a good choice.

Corsair TX850 for $110 AR at newegg. Although, I really don't think dual 4850's would be a wise choice. It would have a combined cost that is more than a single gpu, lower reliability, lower min frames, more heat, more power, low VRAM, and by the time you buy it will probably have a price drop.
