Intel Dual Core E2160
ASUS P5GCMX (has onboard grafix)
1GB DDR2 667MHz RAM

-->Totals to exactly 6000/-

And there are cheap grafix card available like XFX 7200GS 256MB for 1300/-. You can buy if you wish to but onboard will be enough IMHO.

hmm......why not ?

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+
ASUS M2N MX-SE (has onboard grafix.....6150SE from NVIDIA)
1GB DDR2 667MHz RAM

--> Totals to 5875/-

For the grafix, my suggestion remains the same.

Actually the Intel config I gave performs better than this as it has E2160 BUT yours has a G31 IGP which is better than 945 IGP .

For AMD, get atleast Zotac GF8200 for 3.4K if you want HD video decoding. I doubt your 6150 can do HD.
