Generally, Sins isn't terribly demanding of a game compared to some of the current releases (*cough*Crysis*cough*). It certainly doesn't require Crossfire/SLI - I can max it out at 1600x1200 with my single 8800gtx and still have an EVE client (maxed out also) running concurrently without any problems.

I know it's been said the release version will use higher res textures and will have more graphics options, but I doubt that will make a huge difference.

Bottom line is, if you're only building a box around Sins, Crossfire/SLI is a waste of your money because it's not necessary at all. If you're building an overall awesometastic gaming rig, you could consider it

Sins won't turn away your new system's graphical power.

I'm sure some people are going to argue with me but.. spending more than around $280 on a GPU and more than about $1,000 on a PC is a total waste of cash.

P.S. If you need some GPU advice check out http://www.tomshardware.com/graphics/graphicscards/index.html
