I say keep saving up for a bit. The 3870 isn't a horrible card. You're not too far off from a GTX 260 Core 216 or even the 1GB version of the 4870.

If you can afford the 4870x2, you should go for the GTX 295. What size monitor are you running?
Yeah, the 4870x2 and the GTX 295 are way overkill. You should stick to a 4870 or a GTX 260 Core 216. Those should do you well and not break the bank. Even those cards would be a bit too much. But, they always leave you room to upgrade in the future. Your best bet would be the 512MB version of the 4870.
Depends on the game. Some favor ATI and others favored Nvidia. I have the Core 216. It depends on your motherboard. If it's Crossfire go for ATI and if it's SLI go for Nvidia.
