I am planning a build later this fall and am getting what I want to get all ready. I have everything I am doing to get except the motherboard. These are my two options(unless you have a better one.):

and,

The rest of my build is:

CASE: Silverstone SG03
PSU: Corsair 650w
HDD: WD 640gb
GPU: Saphire 1gb 4870
CPU: Intel Q6600
RAM: G. Skill 4gb(2x2)

Is it worth the jump from 512mb 4850 to 1gb 4870? I will be running Dual 22" monitors and will be doing a mixture of CAD and Games.
 
I think there are a few better options, but you don't mention anything about price constraints or needs. The DFI Crossfire board comes to mind, and I'm partial to the P5E-VM HDMI.
