I prefer the GT o the new GTS . The GTS is better than the Ultra , and the GT has better ratio perfomance / price.

And the micro ... I prefer a simply Core duo 2

The Blackbird 02 is a impressive & over priced system. I love the case layout but if you have the skills you can build a comparable rig for much cheaper. If you don't and can afford $6K+ (SLI Ultras) then go for it.

As for the GT vs GTS you can compare here...

Wow that hardware is quite dated. I'd make sure to buy a new PC once FC2 is out

I think that computer would struggle to boot up, let alone run Crysis or FC2.

You need something like this (and Im guessing for the sake of it).
