Yes, the g92 8800gts is much better than the other two. 3870 at that price doesn't make sense, as it perform the same as 9600gt, but cost more. The psu should do fine. And g92 8800gts will do high settings smoothly for all games, including Crysis at 60+ fps high settings 1280x1024 resolution. With the other two, you can still play most games at high settings, but not all.

I'd say that you need multi-GPU configuration to game at 19x12 respectably.

Definately the 3850! but between the 1650 and 2600, the 2600 is better.
