(im assuming the psu should be in the range of 750W correct?)

i chose AMD because i have a history with there products but i've never had a gaming computer so i really don't know if it will suffice. what do you guys think? if not could you suggest anything better that will keep me in the same price range?

Also what do you think about my video card(s)? can the 2 handle the graphics of the up-and-coming games in 2009 with a more than adequate performance? (im not expecting the best)

It's not that 450W is too low(well it is, but that's not the point), but the general quality of included PSUs is terrible.

I would either wait until AMDs new chips come out (should be a few weeks) or go with Intel for your proc. It's not that the AMD chip in question can't do the job, it's that you can get better performance for a similar price with Intel.

Yes, your graphics cards could probably handle 2009 games, but again for that price, you could get better performance with something else, like the ATi 4850s.
