The first one.

You can't upgrade the 775 motherboard to the new architecture. So how is it "upgradeable"?
 
Ok how about this.

or this combo

The reason I ask is because apparently the first 2 can upgrade to better CPU's because they are AM2 sockets, unlike the last one which is cheaper, but only a 775 socket. The first one used DDR2 ram and the 2nd and 3rd use DDR ram.
Should I go for the first because of the RAM?
Is the DDR2 ram really a lot better then the DDR ram? why?
Is the CPU listed for the first two good enough to play online games such as WoW and BF2 for now?
I plan on getting a decent 256mb video card.
Last question...
How do you determine whats good in a video card? Heat Sink, Fan, Pipelines, Clockspeed???

Thanks everyone!
 
I would go with any of the two top mentioned motherboards instead.

Only high end DDR2 is faster than DDR. So you won't have to worry about using DDR.
