Advice needed on my choices for a new System

[InsaneMonkeyBoy]

Hey All, It's now been 2 years since i've had my system and because of certain features now available (pci-express, ddr2, gddr3 etc) i want to upgrade again.

I have been researching a lot on hardware and the following two systems are the two i am stuck between. I will be using this system for Gaming, Cad/CAM, 3D Modelling and DVD's etc. I need advice on whether they have incompatible hardware, or if it's better to wait for upcoming technology. Thanks in advance. :grinthumb
