24" 1920x1200 price range around $2500
Mostly play MW2, Crysis, and WoW.
I definitely want the x-vapor or a 480. Would i ever need to go sli or xfire at that resolution or would one of either of the cards be plenty? If one card is plenty then could i go with the 750w PSU? And any suggestions on the mobo?

for crysis you will need 2 cards others-wise one is enough.

470 will give you want you want in wow and mm2, but for crysis you are looking at 2 x 5870 or for better performance 2 x 480.

your build looks good.

If i went with a 480 i'd have to buy another card to dedicate to physx or is that included? Which card would be recommended?
Would i be able to overclock the 5870 vapor-x a lot more to surpass the 480?

both oced 480 wins, by small margin.

the 480 does 2.5x physx over the 285 gtx.

if you want most power go with 480m if you want less power but less heat and power draw then go with 5870.
