Howdy, I've been pricing out my new rig, and I've come down to 2 choices, which one would be a better decision?

AMD s754 with a DFI NF3 250GB and a 9800PRO 256mb or any Sub 200 dollar AGP card.
OR
AMD s939 with a EPoX NF4 Ultra and a 6200 256mb (Possible flash to 6600non-gt?)

I don't care about the future, as i like to do complete hardware refreshes every 1 1/2 to 2 years.

I would not be getting a 6600GT. I would be getting a 6200 that has a not 100% chance of being flashed to a 6600 NON-GT.
 
This is what I have picked out so far:

Things that are being kept the same:
Antec Super LANBoy Case
Lite-On CD-RW
Maxtor DiamondMax 120GB 7200 RPM Serial ATA150 Hard Drive
G.SKILL 1GB (2 x 512MB) DDR400
Antec TRUEPOWERII TPII-480 BLUE ATX12V 480W Power Supply

What i'm thinking about:
Motherboard: DFI LANPARTY UT nF3 250Gb (s754) OR EPoX EP-9NPA+Ultra (s939)
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Newcastle (s754) OR AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice (s939)
AGP Video Card: ATI Radeon 9800PRO 256MB DDR
PCI-E Video Card: eVGA Geforce 6200 256MB DDR

I understand the DFI board has a steep learning curve, but I can take it :)
 
O sorry I thought it said with a 6600gt. Then I would go with the 754 and 6600gt.
