Before everyone can help you out, we need you to answer a few questions: 1. What's your budget ($)?
2. What games do you play?
3. What monitor resolution do you have?

We'll for those games, the HAF 922 model is perfectly fine: http://www.digitalstormonline.com/compspecialdeals.asp
But you won't be able to max all the visual settings on some of the more intensive games.

if you want 3 year part warranty then we need to go to blackops, otherwise the special deals have only a 1 year warranty, let me know which direction you want to go and I will config a system for you.

well then why not just go with a system that has a 5870 and a 1000w psu (corsair) so if in the near future you do need more gpu power, you can drop it a second 5870, that will take all of 2 minutes, for most of the games you names a 5870 is all you need.

not possible, certain games just can't be maxed out with lag at high res. but I guess at your res 2 x 480 will give you max settings and 4x or 8x aa.

if you use no aa you can run just about any game with a single 480 or 5870.

i have a question... if the 5870 uses less power then a 480 then why a 1000 watt? is that just for the ability to add cf later?

yea, I'm assuming DST was making it so he could go cf later since cstorm mentioned wanting to be able to play future titles as well.

This PC should keep you happy for 3 years or more. Maybe you drop in another gpu, but I bet by the time you want to do that, more powerful single cards be out that are better than 2 old ones. Don't forget, most games are designed to run on average gear, not cutting edge like you're getting. you're good to go for a loooong while!
