Looking at building one of these two systems in the next month (waiting on Tax Return).
Looking for opinions on builds and which is preferable for mostly gaming and general internet stuff.
Trying to stay right at around $900 US not including shipping.

Which one would be better for a 2yr upgrade pattern? The Intel MoBo I was not sure about, but spec wise seems the best bang for buck, I always build for SLI but never end up doing it so figured I could lose the second PCI slot.
Current System is an E8400 stock fan O.C. to 3.6; ASUS P5N-D LGA 775; CHAINTECH GSE96GT; 4 GB Mushkin Enhanced Silverline DDR2 800 (PC2 6400); stuffed into an Antec 300 with a SunBeam 750 Watt
