Q6600 is $20 more and a lot better than the phenom.
At best, two 3850s will cost around $350 and perform around as good as a GTX if crossfire works well (if it doesn't, you could get significantly less performance). You could instead get the 8800 GTS 512 mb for the same near a GTX performance for around the same price (I assume) without the downsides of crossfire, or just get an 8800 GT, nearly as good as a GTX, and save the rest of the money, perhaps to spend on that $20 more Q6600.
not quite there.... a hd3850 performs around with the old 8800gts.. and two of those perform with an 8800ultra.... (or so according to b1gapl) but since Crossfire does scale better... it might be higher....
somebody correct me if I'm wrong..
