Intel + nVidia FTW.

For sure go with the GTX 260M. For CPU, obviously quad core is going to have an advantage. Also, i7 is better than Core 2. So, we can make some assumptions off of that.

I am a AMD+Nvidia FTW fan.  Intel is lame my last dual Core from AMD Smoked an intel C2Q with stock speeds, Its the user not the hardware. If I had to choose from your set up Always go with dual Cards unless the 5870 is the two card one slot solution. But most games are tweaked to run better on SLI than Crossfire and most games are built to use Nvidia hardware better than ATI.
