Neither of those are for gaming at all. Not even close, sorry.
I would try something more like this:
Asus Nforce 520 motherboard:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131179
Amd x2 3600+ or x2 4000+ cpu.
At least 1gb of DDR2 800 ram (2 x 512mb ram), 2gb total ram is recommended.
Radeon 1950GT at least
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102034
17" monitor (one made for gaming).
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001090
There are wide screens, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824254015
but they will need a better video card to be playable.

If you don't deal with much music/movies, get a smaller harddrive to save money.
Here's some charts to help out you deside:

increase ram to at least 1 gb; it is best to use DDR2 it is faster and cost less than the old ddr400. This will also depend if your motherboard supports ddr2.
change VC to pci-e VC with at least 256mb. your motherboard must also support pci-e.
AOC Monitor - if i am not mistaken it has 8 fs response time. it is good enought but a lower rate would be best so that there will be no "ghost effect". This monitor does not have dvi input. Better to get a bigger monitor with faster rate. and with dvi input so that you can use the full potential of the video card.

Increase RAM to 1Gb. Your video card is old tech and slow for most new games. You can have better performance w/ a 7300GT AGP or a 7600GS AGP. Expect great gaming w/ the more expensive X1950 Pro AGP.
Happy gaming!

if your purchasing a computer with money as a priority,
then you computer is fine.
but if ur really intended to play massive performance games, then i think u will need to go for more than a GB of ram, a 512 or more amount of VRAM (Video RAM) on your graphic card,
Processor speed may be fine, but more than 3.6 would be appreciable

The board and intel processor are good... you need more ram (depending on type of what games you will play)
Video card is very old / weak (for 3d gaming)
Harddrive is ok
Monitor is very weak... get a flat screen LCD... :)
