You would also need to remain with the Core I7 processor because multiple GPU cards like the 4870X2 or the GTX 295 put more pressure on the CPU.
So it will cost you another $120 pounds but it will net you better than 50% more performance at that resolution which will make the game playable. But unfortunately none of the cards really thrive at that resolution with that particular game.
The higher the resolution you're shooting for the more it will cost you in terms of overall system costs, however things like graphics cards can be easily updated whilst CPUs and motherboards are much more intensive. One option you have is to stick with the 4870 for now and update to the latest hardware later in the year when you can buy the 30" monitor and GPU to match for a lot cheaper.
Tease.
