I'd say get a better power supply and cpu cooler, depending on what you're doing. If you're leaving everything at stock, the cpu cooler you have will probably be fine. If you're doing some overclocking, the thermaltake v1 is pretty good, although you may want to go liquid if you're doing serious overclocking. Also, if you plan to run that 4870 in crossfire at any point, you'll definitely want the better power supply. Go antec or thermaltake. Here's the power supply I just bought for my new rig: http://microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0281688.
The 550 watt corsair you're getting will be fine for the HD4850 OR the HD4870 so I don't know why people were saying you needed the larger 650 watt for the HD4870, and the AC freezer 7 pro is a great heatsink for the money and will do absolutely fine taking your wolfie to 3.6ghz.
if you're looking for brute strength then yeah the 2300's blow yours away, but you should get a little more bass out of your x-530's. pretty much the same higher frequencies. I would personally just stay with what you have. If you want to spend $100 on a 2.1 speaker system, go with the bose companion 2 series. that should blow the z-2300's out of the water. trust me, i've heard them before. delivers power and incredible sound.
