There are questions below!!!
My configuration is: (Ticket Number 231453)

Chassis Model: Antec 900
Exterior Finish: Standard Factory
Interior Finish: Standard Factory
Trim Accents: Standard Factory
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 2.66 GHz (1333 MHz FSB) (12 MB Cache)
Motherboard: NVIDIA 650i Core 2 Quad (Chipset: nForce 650i Ultra)
System Memory: 4GB DDR2 800 MHz OCZ
Power Supply: 550W Corsair HX (Dual SLI Compatible) (Silent Edition)
Card Reader: No Thanks
Hard Drive 1: 500 GB Western Digital (16 MB Cache) (7200 RPM) (SATA)
Set 1 Raid Options: No Thanks
Hard Drive 2: No Thanks
Hard Drive 3: No Thanks
Optical Drive 1: DVD Writer 20x/CD Writer 48x
Optical Drive 2: No Thanks
Internet Access: High Speed Network Port
Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB
Add-on Card: No Thanks
Sound Card: Integrated Motherboard Audio
Extreme Cooling: Standard Factory Heat-sink and Fan
Liquid Color: Not Applicable

Internal Lighting: Blue
Enhancements: No Thanks
Chassis Mod's: No Thanks
CPU Boost: No Thanks
Graphics Boost: No Thanks
Memory Boost: No Thanks
Windows Boost: No Thanks

This is not a great extreme powerful system, but it meets my needs and is good enough in my opinion.

Is there anything I should do to enhance it? I don't want to pay a bunch but I do not want some bad parts in my computer either.

Is there a big difference between the 4GB 667 MHz Corsair and the 4GB 800 MHz OCZ?

Which graphics card is better - ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB or NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512 MB?

This config will not work, you need a 780I to support the q9450.

you also can't use crossfire with nvidia boards.

when I do that and upgrade you to a haf, the price becomes $1792, why not get teh config below, its a much better pc and with the current promotion you get another $100 off which will bring the price down to $1838, only $50 from the above config, for $50 more, you get a stronger processesor, faster processor, a system that can be upgraded in the future so that without buying a new pc, you will have all the power you want at your hands by just upgrading gpu and cpu.

here you go Ticket# 231461 --- Price: $1938 (To see this build click here)

The build that DST4ME has provided would be your best bet. It is also future proof.
 
The build that you had originally is obsolete. To upgrade in a year you would have to replace everything.
Intel Core i5 6600k @ 4.6
240GB Samsung SSD
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Hybrid
Corsair Hydro H80i GT
