Smart decision postponing your purchase coz you had a powerful system already.
Regarding monitors go for dell coz you like the smell of new hardware :p i.e a new monitor if any thing goes wrong.
Wait for others for gpu suggestions.
 
ATI HD 4890 as it has more power than the HD5770.

Dell S2409W if you can find it else the Sammy P2350 will do fine

CM 590 is a good choice for 4k.

Pretty soon

Till then saving as much money on mobo as possible

Will buy a Crossfire mobo later when prices comes down
I jump to DX11 when it gets cheap in q4 2010 and when ATI 6xxx series releases in q4 2010

I don't think they'll release 6xxx that fast. They are yet to rip the benefit from 5xxx. For the time being, TSMC is having problem producing 40nm dies, supplies of 5xxx are limited. mainstream cards are yet to flow in the market and as soon as nVidia pushes their DX11 products ( if at all :p ), they might deliver some really good mid end products like the 4770 in past :)
