If your budget is really tight, i would suggest this rig if possible......

intel i3-540
4gb ddr3 ram
nvidia GTX450

the rig above should run most games at high settings if your monitor resolution is below 1920x1080

Black ops might lag a little

Regarding your setup1 and setup 2,

setup 1 : processor is great for gaming, but that graphic card will make your life miserable

setup 2: Balanced but not future proof, the i3-540 is cheaper but faster than the e7500

i have old lg 17" crt monitor and only go with 1280x720 if this setup can handle it

thelion's suggestion should be able to do that fine.

The GTS450 will handle that resolution just fine. You can overclock the crap out of that little i3 as well.
