Definately not the first one, a 630 is not good enough for todays games... The 750 will give you playable frames on almost every game with the right settings. But you should know that your system will be probably crappy... You know nothing about the power supply which is a very important component (im guessing it is a cheap oem). The best you can do is choose all the parts one by one based on your budget, toms is here to help you choose the parts and then put the parts together.

To be honest, a build around the A10-7850k APU may be in your price range, no need for a video card and the integrated video is strong enough to play battlefield 3-4 at playable framerates at 1920x1080. LOOK HERE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gn0xnxe4bZ4 this is a video of an A10 at work! Well cheaper and for the quality you picked out, honestly a better option!

OH.. and its only $170. no need to buy a graphics card. Become a believer in the APU! lol
