So, what do you all think?

drop one 4870 X2 and get a decent 24" or 22" screen

a pc like that scorches the earth for about 200 yards in every direction and you want to connect it to a crappy old crt monitor thats only good for clogging the a junk yard?

Come to think of it ,its hard to imagine any monitor that needs TWO 4870 X2's to produce playable frame rates
so you probably just need a new hobby .. maybe knitting would suit you better than computers?

get an i7 build now with a single 4890, then use the money you save to buy an R870 card in October-ish since the 5870 pricing will be about the same as the 4890 when it came out.

second thoughts, get an ASUS 4850 (get the asus since it has the best cooler) then overclock it to 750mhz with 50% fan. and with the money you saved, put it towards a nice 22" monitor and later the 5870 or 5870 X2. You'll have saved about $100-200 from your original build while having an overall better PC.
