I bought the gts with 320, it runs wow at maximum settings with a slew of mods installed. I draw the line at a vid card being over half the cost of a *core* computer, put your few hundred into some ram or something.

the ultra is a complete waste of money. only 5 to 8% faster then the gtx, but 20 more expensive
