GPU 1 - Radeon HD 4850
GPU 2 - Radeon HD 4850

At today's price my rig is under 1200 easy, probably under 1000 if you change some stuff and hunt rebates. I can run anything at max graphical settings and rez.

The OP's machine is total overkill BTW. By the time so much power will be useful you'll have better for less.
