power supply is iffy on that and you need a 64bit os to use all that ram and for the price of 2 4890's i'd get a single 5870

iffy? so is 1000W not enough?

would a single 5870 be better than 2 4890's? I'm primarily going to be playing games with this rig, from Crysis to the soon to be released L4D2 and on.

Any one else care to chime in? Any help is appreciated greatly.

a 1000watts of questionable quality is never enough, the 5870 aint far behind 2x4890 but the 5870 is cheaper and newer then the 4xxx cards and should give you a good deal longer life span then 4890's

Are you building from Cyperpower PC? Based on your post, it looks like it to me. What is your budget and I would recommend you build your own, if you are having it built.

if you are correct this will cost $1300~ from cyberpower
