acording to this article:
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/best-graphics-card,review-31783.html
the best value for $200 is the hd 4890
and the best at $250 is two gts 250s or two hd 4850s

also supposedly in less than 2 weeks (around jan 25th) the hd 5830 will come out that should be as good as a 4890 but with dx11 and stuff. priced around $200.

Generally single card setups are better than multiple... you lose some power in the sli/crossfire process.

I think your best option is to wait a couple days and get a 5830 when they come out. It will run a lot cooler than the 4890 and have DX 11.

Thank you and since everything is brand new in box, I think I will take the advice to wait and do it right get the 5830 orwho knows budget might grow by then. Just so eager to play with the new rig Im on oc E8400 right now want more. Can't wait so thanks again for your help.
