I loved the first one... but when i saw the other two i got confused...

I am Computer Eng. Student..
Usage:
Internet : much much surfing
Gaming : not crazy now... but love to play any racing game .. like most wanted.. undercover.. GRID2.. etc.. i like other games also .. like Fifa, Counter Strike, GTA etc..
Music : normal
Movies : 2-3 movies a month.. so as such not mad for them..
Technical softwares : yes, this thing i will require.. right now, i use Netbeans, Visual Studio, Eclipse, this list may increase as i become professional in my field.. so that also into consideration..
so please guide me..

Well the newest integrated graphics from Intel don't FAIL as much as their previous ones, but if you value gaming, I really suggest you get the first one.

i like to play games..
but i am not crazy to play each and every game ... if my computer doesnt support it..

like i said right now i can play most wanted, underground 2, counter strike.. etc..
Gta 4 i cant play..... but that is not such a big problem for me..

confusion is to go for core i5 or i3.....
and sound options are also different among themselves...

Current PC Config:
Core 2 Duo - 2.2 Ghz - E4500
1 GB Ram
160 HDD
15" OLD AGE Monitor..!!
128 MB Shared Graphics chip - Intel 82945G

so 512 MB would be like GREAT ONE for me.....!!

just concerned with CPU , Sound options.. etc.
