Still stuck on new pc Athlon vs pentium+graphics card

Hi
i posted a while back looking for advice on new computer and got some
good advice
so heres my new question
there are three PC's im looking at (THEY HAVE TO BE FROM PC WORLD)
Bummer

one is the
advent
http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/product/seo/085705

this one looksto have an ace spec im a bit due to it having pentium 4
and PC worlds home make
it apears to have an ok graphics card in it

The next is this one

http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/store/pcw_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@0137707262.1141163106@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccegaddhedmijehcflgceggdhhmdgml.0&page=Product&fm=0&sm=0&tm=4&sku=124879&category_oid=-27507

This is the dual core pc it looks ok to me although reading reviews
graphics card looks a bit lame (not sure on this though as numbers seem
to mean nothing)

the next one is this
http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/store/pcw_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@0407574208.1141163182@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccegaddhedmijehcflgceggdhhmdgml.0&page=Product&sku=252538&fm=0&sm=0&tm=1&tabIndex=1

now ive been told the athlon chip in this will run rings round pentium
4 ht or a dual core but the graphics card is naff and the ram is 1 gig
less so as i have £1k approx i could put an extra gig of ram and
either an

X800GT256 - R43CA-GD3D or a 6600 GT card in it

would this make it a beter system than the ones above

i want it to be able to run good games and handle the rest fine

is Dual core the best or is HT better than AMD fecked if i know

any help would be ace
