Default card choice help

This is not for my sig

I'm going to upgrade my #3 system soon, and I was quibbling between a GeForce GTX260 and 2x ATI Radeon HD4830 connected via crossfire. Both solutions cost about the same, all in, with the ATI's at half the price of the GeForce.

I've got an Asus M2R32-MVP motherboard, which supports Crossfire.

Opinions or other options at this price??

4830s in CF: better performance
gtx 260: will allow for a future sli, only requires one waterblock if you wc

Go with the 4830s, given that they're 70 bucks on newegg right now.

go with the 4830's tbh

the performance is really good and you have a crossfire board so you can take advantage of it... just do be prepared for crossfire troubles from time to time
