Hello,
I am trying to build a rig that can run 6 displays at good resolution without taxing the GPU to death. I was wondering if i were to use the 5870 eyefinity could i crossfire it with another card and still use all 6 ports to monitors? Cost isnt as much of an issue i am willing to spend serious money on my computer.

Running 6 displays is going to put a bezel in the center of everything, which is not something you want. So just stick with 5 displays (making 1 in the center and then 2 each to the left and right). You could order 2 6950's or you could order a 6990. For both scenarios you need to buy adapters if your monitors are not displayport capable.
