Well its a pretty tough question. I'm of the mind that you should buy exactly the processor and motherboard you want when you first build a machine. Maybe that's just because I hate changing out processors. If it were me, I'd probably go for the Core 2 Duo and save money by buying a cheaper Video card and upgrading that later. Here's a summary of parts I would use in your situation.
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 1.8GHz $169.00
Motherboard: MSI 945P Neo3-F Intel Motherboard $76.99
Video Card: EVGA GeForce 7600GS 256MB $85.99 (lifetime warranty!)
Memory: 1GB OCZ Gold DDR2 800 $89.99
In American dollars that's only $421.97 for a smoking rig
