I need some guidance

If you have the fermi cards as an option get it. They've been in production for quite some time which means they'll make a big release. 3x 22's will be beneficial for those who edit videos, encode, or photo shop etc so unless you do that theres really no point. If you're doing it for the gaming you'll be better off with the 30'(might as well get a lcd and hook it up to your pc), and get the 24" if you use it for common tasks; internet browsing, emailing, and casual gaming.

I'm not 100$ sure on a Xeon at 3.8ghz being capable of bottlenecking the new video cards but I doubt it would.
 
yes your cpu will keep the 5870 or other very high end cards from performing at their best. I have an E8500 at 3.8 and its fine for 99% of games but there are some games where my cpu is holding me back even with just a gtx260. Ghostbusters, Red Faction Gorilla and GTA 4 are just a few examples of games I play that are not satisfying at times with a dual core. I certainly would not stick a $400 video card in a system without a fast quad.

I know there are NDA's and what not but I haven't heard of anybody seeing a working Fermi based card yet let alone that they're in production. Please correct me with some facts if I am wrong.

they are most certainly in production. also there are supposedly some Far Cry 2 benchmark leaks but I am not sure exactly which card(gtx380 or gtx360) is used.
