ATi 4850X2 or 4870?

I think I am planning on getting a new gfx at the end of the month. I think I have seen somewhere that some new nvidia's might be coming out, but I don't know what those are going to look like, but I don't think they will be within my ~$200 price range (I know the 4850x2 is more, but I wonder if it might last me longer). But I wonder if the 4850x2 significantly faster, and also if my psu can handle (a 430w fsp). I am also considering the 260, but those seem to be the slower option at this point.
