Is a 900W power supply enough to run a computer with two 4850s, or should I get 1100W to feel safe?
 
900W is probably enough for 2 GTX 280's - it's more than enough for 2x 4850's.

900W should be enough but make sure it's a good quality PSU and most preferably, one with a single, 12v rail for stability.
 
We've tested 3x GTX280s, 3x GTX260s, 2x HD4850s, 2x HD4870s and a combination of both on a 1250W CoolerMaster Real Power Pro with no hiccups, I would say that you're safe with 900W, though it might be a bit overkill.
