Or should I get this.

I know!! I was originally getting option B at first, but then I saw option A.

EDIT: On option A, the motherboard has really bad ratings. X_X

Eww, not a big fan of nforce chipsets, not to mention the price doesn't include a GPU. But the jump from DDR2 to DDR3 isn't that big a of deal, and put there is a quite large price jump, really its if you want to be future proof some.
