I know you intend to use your current cabinet, but i squeezed that in there anyway since i could. If you don't get the cabinet and get 2GB of RAM instead of 4+ one of the cheaper motherboards, you can add the surplus budget and get either the i5 750 in lieu of the i3 530, or the HD 5770 in lieu of the HD 5670(On the AMD config this should be particularly feasible). However, for your usuage and gaming resolution, the above configs. are in the sweet spot.
Good luck. :)

Personally, I vouch for the AMD setup.
