The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

5830= best bang for your buck (if you can get 2 you are golden) 5850-70 = awesome stuff 6950-70 = top notch 6990 (1 or more) the best you can buy right now

Get a cheap mobo if you are planing to use single cards. Get a good mobo capable of 8x/8x for crossfire.
For PSUs it depens on the cards: (quality = OCZ,CORSAIR, ANTEC)
5830 single: a quality 550W psu 5830 crossfire: a quality 600-700W psu 6950-70 singles: a quality 600-700W psu 6850-70 crossfire: a quality 800-850W psu 6990 single: a quality 800-850W psu 6990 crossfire: 1000W+ quality psu

You cant. For 2 or more card you need a mobo that support crossfire. Those mobos have 2,3,4 pcie slots.

i dont know? for single card just pick one xD (asrock mobos are the cheapest) for crossfire look for a mobo capable of 8x/8x crossfire (2 cards). for more cards (3,4) mobos can be expensive so i dont know just get a good one. (asus,gigabyte,msi)
Crossfire Mobos (2 cards):
ASRock P55 Deluxe Asrock P55 Extreme
ASUS Maximus III Formula Asus Maximus III Gene ASUS P7P55D Deluxe Asus P7P55D Premium ASUS P7P55D PRO Asus P7P55D EVO
MSI P55-GD65 MSI P55-GD80
