Thank you.
 
550W should be plenty for that system and corsair is a good make.

If you plan on adding a second 4850 in the future it may be a good idea to go for a 650W version.
 
In that case I think you are good to go.

I think I should point out that this quad core cpu is very good and will work in the motherboard. It will overclock very well and play future multi threaded games better.
That said, the e8500 is a very good chip and will likely overclock past 4GHz. So its up to you whether you thing quad core is worth it.
