Oh god no. Don't go crossfire with just a 19' monitor. Either get a HD 5770 or HD 5850 instead (even then, the HD 5850 is overkill).

You want a monitor with 1920x1200/1080. Phenom 955 for price vs performance. And either Crossfire a 5770 instead of 5830. or buy a 5850. 5830 is closer to 5770 than 5850 in terms of performance and will probably perform the same in crossfire, and costs quite a bit more.

wont be as well optimized for pc lol basically it (at best) will be a 9800gtx/hd 4830 with a core 2 quad clocked @ 2.3ghz IF THAT. you want a demanding title look elsewhere the new cryengine wont make it the benchmark crysis one will ever be.

The HD 5770 is roughly at the performance level of a GTX 260 (still a decent card for high end gaming). The HD 5830 is closer to a GTX 275 in performance.....two of them should slaughter anything for quite a long while. At least that's what I've taken from benchmark reviews I've looked at in the past few weeks.... You might want to see about getting a little more powerful PSU, just to be sure you have something to hold you over for years to come. The one you have picked out should do you fine...I just like to be safe.

There are exceptions to that, but for the most part yeah it is overkill. Get a 5870 and just one of them. If you find that your gpu is lacking in 2-3 years get another. Crossfire in your case isn't worth it at all, and is just a waste of power imho.
