They have to be under 18.75A each so you should be more than fine.

Your PSU may have 4 12v rails @ 20A each, but it won't be able to run than all at 20A at the same time. It should have a combined limited printed on the case. Still being a 900W psu it will be enough as you are no where near that.
 
ok, thanks

i received it at 7.30am :D. the cooler is a dual slot cooler which is different to whats on overclockers site, also it's clocked abit higher....

i wanted a single slot cooler so i could keep my sound card in but as both cards are dual slot coolers i can't fit the sound card in, so i've removed the sound card for now. i meant put the original single slot cooler back on the old 4850..

anyway it's working great, :D
