The GTS with only 320MB might hold it back, depends on how much Crytek puts into foot print saving technologies, I would say some, but not a ton. I tend to be on the side of caution myself, not much of a risk taker with my money.

What I've heard performance wise is that an 8800GTX can run Crysis in its current state around 45~60 FPS at 1680x1050. Lots of work is being done to increase this, Crytek is very serious about making a quality engine and making a efficient and well coded engine. While I think an 8800GTS 320MB might do just fine with very near to max settings, one aspect I just forgot is that a GTS would be running the DirectX 10 path and therefore could off load to the main memory which could help a bit. Besides spending another $100+ I doubt we'll see better performance in the price range unless R600 is a shocker. Which I would suggest waiting for at this point, just to see.
