Great choices :)

For the brand, I recommend Visiontek (lifetime warranty) or Asus (3 year warranty), although there's no listing for an Asus 4870 on newegg yet. The dual slot cooler is more effective than the crappy one on the 4850, so you don't need a 3rd party cooler. Just wait for fan control support in Rivatuner (soon i hope) or higher default fan speed in the next drivers that are coming in july.

If your looking to crossfire the 4870 later on, the X48 is the way to go.
