If you were ever going to xfire that deal Gibbo has going on those 5850's are pretty darn nice. Im a fan of single card solutions but that that price its really hard to beat for the performance you will get.
I would strongly consider the 5850's and if not then the 6950 looks like a great card for overclocking and xfire down the road.

I have two PC's:
Main desktop is an i7 bundle from OCUK oc’ed 20 4ghz with 2 x Sapphire 6870's in crossfire.
LANBox is a Q6600 with a Sapphire 4870x2, until it went pop. I brought my x2 about 20 months ago and because of the two year warranty I had it replaced for free (actually it was a refund of the £350 I paid for it). Now because of the two year warranty I brought another sapphire this time as a 6970 BCV Special ED from another retailer.
Yes the 570 may be quicker but for me the company that produced the card offered a better deal.
Maybe something to take in to consideration!
