It's time to choose
Your choice depends on the amount of money at disposal. The most complete solution is a combination of the new E8200 and a GeForce 9600GT (or its ATi counterpart, HD 3870), which would present a great solution at a reasonable price. For those with not as much money, an E2180 and an HD 3850 are also a winning couple at a significantly lower price, while an experienced overclocker will certainly make use of them 100%. The only thing to be avoided is the Celeron, simply because it makes no difference between a 70€ and a 270€ graphics card.
