Sparkle/Fortron is a decent brand. With dual 18A on 12V you should be enough for even a 4870. Although at your cpu speed, there will be some bottlenecking in games.

Maybe a 4850. 4870 is kind of pushing it. ATI recommends 500watts for a 4870 and 450watt for a 4850.

I do agree that a 4850 should be ok as long as you don't have too many hard drives and such.
