im assuming around 2017, when 21 million is reached?
then after that we would be mining for transaction fees right? would they even be worth it?

if mining is unprofitable, miners will drop out, and the difficulty will fall. Eventually, it will be low enough that it's profitable again.
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

and besides all that, someday-nonexistant-rewards and however-low-fees,
everyone who's holding some savings in BTC will have an incentive to keep mining, or pay others todo so,
because if noone's mining, all those savings would be worthless.
so, to answer your inital question: never!

I wonder how bad the market will behave during the transition period while most miners will not be breaking even but people will still not be used to paying larger sums to get their transactions verified...

The more you believe in Bitcoin, and the more you show you do to other people, the faster
the real value will soar!

Why 3 5870's instead? With 3 6990s you'll be doing ~2000Mhash/s.
Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.
