Its like what's the difference between a saxo and a f340

The GT220 gets about 25FPS in COD5, which is poor.

GTA will just kill it

Oh just had a look - and yeh gtx220 sucks.

You are basically building a gaming pc, without the most important part. A decent graphics card.

Nowadays many games are more CPU intensive than GPU intensive

You could get that PC but then buy like the GTS250 or GTX260. Might need a new PSU though, depends on the watts and the v12 rail.
