Before we go on any further, what kinds of games are you planning to play? The really high-end ones like Crysis? Or something more like, Half-Life 2/Portal?
Also, are you buying from online retailers? Will they ship? Or are you just using those as a canvassing tools?
As a whole it seems better just because you're getting an Intel and 2GB of RAM. I'm not sure about what will perform better in the long run though, the Palit NVidia card you originally posted, or this new Palit ATI one.
Since you're buying parts individually, chances are it won't be assembled. Also, you probably don't get an OS included in the mix. Try haggling for an XP license.
I've been told repeatedly that the best thing to do for now is to wait for the new batch of Intel cores to come out, if you can do that.
