Go for the cheapest, get a smaller HDD, use the saved cash on a decent GFX card.

For PC1 isnt a E2160 1.86ghz? Or where u mean a E2180? Cus to get a E2180 would be a waste i think, cuz you can just overclock the E2160 to the same 2.0ghz in like 20 seconds:)
 
how would u find this PC?

How about a 4850 for basically R2000? It's an amazing card, you're almost getting the latest tech on a budget system.

This all depends on if you actually want to game or not, otherwise don't even waste money on a discrete card.
