I am looking at replacing my aging system and I am planing to go for an Phenom II x4 black 955 + the Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P

Now my question is, do I go for an HD 4870 or a GTX 260 ?

Also the last time I purchased a new gfx card was a ti4200 64mb rather than the 128mb version. Is there the same sillyness now ? buy the lower end card with less memory and get a better card ?
 
Because of budget limitations I will need to keep my existng 19" CRT's (high end for their time though). Ky kids and sticky fingers do not work well with TFT's
Max res would be 1600x1200
 
Could I pick up a 2nd in October and crossfire them or would they need to match exactly ?

I pciked up min HD4890 for £123 NIB from a friend.
