Quick upgrade question:

I currently have an Abit IP35-PRO, Q6600 @ 3.4GHz, and 8GB of PC2-8500. I have two Radeon 3870 512MB cards, but have pretty much run to the end of their lifespan, unable to cope with new games at my native res (1920x1200), and I'm sure one of the cards is on its way out.

What do I upgrade to? I was thinking two 4890's, but I have no idea of the performance of the new 5700 series (I'd get 5870's but they just seem impossible to acquire at the moment).

What should I get (ATI only please), and will I be bottlenecked by the rest of the system?

Bear in mind whatever I buy now will be moved to my i7 build early next year.

Cheers.
