With the build tht I have in my sig what can I expect to get in games such as Fallout 3 and other pretty newer games, espcially some fps like COD4?

It depends on your resolution. Is the 4850 1gb or 512mb? Regardless you should be able to max out most games or at least get very good frames on mid-high level settings. Try overclocking that 550 too. I think you should be able to get 3.4-3.6ghz on stock voltage

Im actually kinda new to widescreen monitors..what would be a nice but not over doing it resolution?

I wouldn't go over 1680x1050 res if you want decent performance in most games with the settings turned up.

720p 1366 x 768 would like nice on a 16:9 scale and wouldn't be too taxing on the hardware.

I can play Fallout 3 on my HD3850 on high settings, no AA and 1920x1080 with decent FPS. I know, I was quite suprised myself.

Is this card, the HD4850 a really good card? Its my first time actually diving into anything ATI, so im kinda excited/nervous

Assuming the resolution of your monitor is 1600x900, you should be able to run most games at max if not high sans some AA.

It's on par with the GTX260. Need I say more?
