Why specifically those? The Q9300 and EP35-DS3R are a better combination, but I'd go with the 9600GT over the X1950, it's twice as fast. That said however, an HD4670 would probably be a better bet, as it's the same speed, but cheaper.

I`d go with the first one any day. It`ll be more powerful and I think tat Intel would be a better option for you in the long run.

I'm here to learn, embrace knowledge and improve.

The Intel CPU is about 30% faster, but as I mentioned, the graphics card listed for the Intel build is very old, so replace it.

It's always better to build your own PC, and AMD stuff isn't that good any more, but the X1950 is going to nullify your upgrade severely, I'd strongly recommend upgrading it at the same time, even if only to a cheap card like the HD4670, it'll still be twice as fast.
