for a new game like this i think one or two newer cards would be better since i can imagine it will take time till it fully supports crossfire. other than that your rig seems absolutely beast and will not have the remote shadow of an issue.
once proper crossfire is supported that previous thing also gets scratched.

Edit: i would maybe suggest a more powerful sound system though

Maybe I can work to pop for new video cards maybe a couple of 7950's I hate Nvidias multimonitor support So it will definately have to be Radeon of some sort if I change em out, bought the ones I did because of This.

I don't think you have enough monitors. Get more monitors.

Yeah, odd numbers are bad luck...

Its only 3, the bottom ones combine as 1 screen. adds a massive amount of peripheral vision in games that support it.
The top 2 allow me to run stuff in the background and still run main programs full screen. Circuit and chip design take a ton of screen real
estate. All the extra menus and windows can still be seen
This is my work machine too.

Show off...LOL
.
I have the same case...

A 6870 per monitor will do you just fine, so long as the Crossfire support is good, which it ought to be. I suppose if you did want to spring for more, 2-3 7870s would be the way to go (the 7900 series is only marginally faster in gaming considering the price difference; they're more GPGPU cards)
