So it finally came down to a choice of the GPUs.

I'm on a limited budget, so right now it's between 1X5850, or 1X5870, or 2X GTX 275 or 1X GTX 295.

any suggestions are appreciated.

it doesn't work like that, what you want to do is what you need, otherwise anything more you will not notice the difference, for example you will never be able to the difference between 1 x 275 and 2 x 275 or 1 x 5870 at 1600 x 1200 in most games, so going with 2 x 275 or 1 x 295 or 1 x 5870 is pointless at that res.

you decide by your res

So what's your monitor's native resolution?

Defienetly go with either the 275 or the 5850. If its down to just a video card, why don't you give me a call and lets get this order going and I can answer any final questions you may have.
