LINKS MAY NOT WORK LOOK FOR SPECS ON 4TH POST

Hi, right now i'm debating whether i should buy http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16883227125

and add a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102768 (ATI radeon 4870x2) and crossfire the 2. (i'm curious.. will the watts on this powersupply even be enough to crossfire the 2?)

or whether i should buy http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16883227126

or whether i should buy http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16883227135.

The only reason i'm thinking of buying the third option is 12mb cache (i dont even know what that really is and i'm not too computer literate in this sense, but i just hear its important from a friend).

Which is the best bang for my buck for gaming? 1400 is my budget

I'm planning to hook it up to my HDTV and use that as my monitor btw as my setup.

Thank you so much in advance.
