new pc

Hi guys, need advice. Here are my options:


1. X2 4200+ (65w) + ABIT NF-M2 (GeForce 6150) + G.SKILL 1GB DDR2 800 = $385
2. E6400 + ASRock 775Dual-VSTA + G.SKILL 1GB DDR2 800 = $354 (plus my old gf2 mx)
3. E6300 + BIOSTAR I945G-M7 V2.X (GMA 950) + G.SKILL 1GB DDR2 800 = $376

(BIOSTAR 945G-M7, 1.8 - 2.1 vdimm, PCIe lock, max FSB 300MHz)

I won't be able to buy a decent video card any time soon and it will be used more for multitasking and video decoding. Also, i only play games like the Ys series from falcom. I can't spend more than $390 but feel free to add any other combination that won't go over my budget.

Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

Edit: option 3 fixed.

I vote for option number 2, except that I would replace the mainboard with an Asus P5B Deluxe.

He can't use his old video card with a P5B deluxe..thats why the other options have integrated graphics...

Good point. I didn't read his OP clearly enough... I would seriously wait until you can afford a good GPU, even a 7600GS would be good.

Thanks everyone. I would wait if i could but unfortunately i need to buy it now. My initial thought was to go with option 2 and get a better video card (something like a gf 7300gt ddr3 would be ideal) or a good oc mb with IGP from nvidia or ati later on.
