I am a fan of Nvidia based graphics cards, just my prefrence. The price of the graphics cards you bought are about $100 apeice from Newegg. They can't deliver the performance as a single quality GPU. For an extra $20 you could have bought EVGA GeForce 8800GTS 640MB 320-bit card. I would bet that this single card would out perform your two cards in crossfire mode. In a couple months or whenever, you could always get a second Evga card and run SLI. Then you will be crushing games. I just built a computer and purchased an Evga 8800 GTX. Don't have the money right now...but I plan on SLI shortly. I thought about going with two lower end cards at first but everybody said no. I wish you would have gotten the advice before hand like I did. Good luck with your build and if you ever have questions this is the place to come.
