    i personally don't like ati, but with gpu's (as with most pc parts) go with the best performance to price ratio. they seem to be the same card, just by different companies. so in this case, i would go with the sapphire 4850.

    Get either one, if the bundled game with the Asus appeals to you then get the Asus.
    Both companies are very good, but there won;t be any performance difference or anything, they seem to have the same cooler too.

    do you think its worth it to get the 4870 instead or get another 4850 later for crossfire

    If you have the money, get a 4870, it's much faster.
    Then you can go Crossfire with 2x4870 rather than 2x4850 later on.
