I'm not sure if the cheaper one can handle it at full Ultra settings, since the processor is a bit anemic. If you were to, say, drop the AMD CPU/Mobo, and pick up, say, the cheapest I7 on the 1366 socket, and one of the more inexpensive boards for it, while using an HD5770 (or GTS450 if you prefer Nvidia, same price and performance pretty much), you should be able to max the game out, and play at higher than Ultra settings.


With the cheaper one, if you're willing to sacrifice a few things, such as completely disabling shadows, and maybe a few other little tricks, it should be fine with the rest on Ultra without much of a difference in eye candy. Personally, I prefer shadows completely disabled, since they're fairly ugly, but that's just me.
