I am building a machine for photoshop and have about $1,200.
I've read that photoshop can take advantage of CUDA type graphic cards including the nvidia Fermi line.
I've seen reports of freezes with the GTX 460 series but the GTX 470 seems to work ok from what I read. The EVGA 470 is also on the wiki but I'm unsure if it supports dual display.
The wiki reads
EVGA -GTX 470 1280mb - Yes - DVI/HDMI iBoot-GE/MultiBeast 3.0/tonymacx86 NVIDIA Update
Does anyone know if the 470 cards improve photoshop performance?
Can I use the less expensive PNY 470 here:

Would one card support dual displays?
Could I use two of these cards at the same time?
My build so far with the recommended ATI card:
GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R LGA 1366
GIGABYTE GV-R577UD-1GD Radeon HD 5770 card
i7 960
CORSAIR XMS3 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 (x2)
CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX850
Scythe SCMG-2100 Sleeve CPU Cooler
Mushkin Enhanced Callisto Deluxe MKNSSDCL60GB-DX 2.5" 60GB SATA II SSD
