2x 6950 In crossfire or something else?

Thanks for all the advise so far. Was looking at those MSI cards, Dirt 3 is a bit of a bonus
The next question is whether to buy now, or wait until end of September/early October for hopefully a bit of a price drop?

If you are gonna put a new build together NOW, then a pair of 6950 2GB in Crossfire would be the most bang for bucks. But if you gonna play the waiting game, you might as well wait a bit for the next gen card, which should hopefully launch before the end of the year (for AMD cards at least).
