Thats actually a very tough call.

Arguments supporting PC No. 1: Better processor.

Arguments supporting PC No. 2: Better graphics card, better RAM, and the CPU slot is AM3 so can be upgraded to one of the latest CPUs later down the line.

There we go, get the second one, but plan on upgrading the processor in the next year or two, overclock the X4 620 while you wait.

I would go with the second one IMO. Better RAM and better Graphic card. The Intel CPU is better than the AMD one, but the LGA775 socket is going to EOL. So going with AM3 would be preferable.
