Slightly better cpu and 90GB more hard drive.  I dont know if thats worth $300 dollars.  I do have a question for you though, does this company that is making the computer have Intel based computers?  That would be the best bang for the buck.  AMD might be alittle cheaper than Intel but Intel is like a Nissan Skyline, alittle tuning and you have 600hp. 

But if you are just playing those games you listed, than the first pick would do just fine.

I wouldn't care about the HD space and the x2 5200+ is $229.00 on newegg! Can your order the first one without the cpu? :wink:
Anyway, my guess is that first one will be fine for the games you mention..
