Whats the difference between :

Integrated NVIDIA GeForce 9200 Graphics ; AMD Radeon HD 3000 ; Intel HD Graphics 2000 ??

Which one is the best to watch movies/ play a few games?
Looking for someone that knows their stuff please, i need to know this asap since the sale finishes tonight and i have to decide which computer to take.

If someone would like to help me a little more, check the full stats of these three desktops and tell me some pros and cons for each of them
I will donate to whoever helps me make the right decision :)
Thanks

Hard drive is excessive in size for my use - how about others? Speed is okay and like that but really fear that some day in the future the "guts" will suddenly give up the ghost! I'd sooner pay a bit more and get 4-5 years use if I expand machbine

con's : they all are prebuilt.
pro's : if u buy them , ur paying 30-40% of what you are paying to get them to assemble it when u can pay someone like 50$ to assemble it if ur too scared to try it out or assemble it yourself for free

other comments : buy a custom pc if u want to get the best for your money.

Figures. I don't know much about building computers biut i have friends that are able to. Can you tell me what parts i should have in a computer for it to work nicely/fast in a good quality when i watch movies/play games?
I have around 800$ budget, don't really want to spend more on it since i will only use it a few hours a week when i am not at work.
Thank you guys.

building a pc is like playing with legos, except when screwing in the mobo, then its frustrating. even for a noob it will be done in less then 2 hours

800$ is tough, do you need OS and monitor?

it can be done though just use a budget quad core and an older, but still efficient gpu. All other components are negligible and easy to find cheap but still good (hdd/psu/case ez ez -75$ each)

I wish i understood what that all means.
Whats good/bad about the motherboard?
How fast would the computer run?
How good would the graphics be?

Just a reminder, i know nothing about computer parts.
Thanks for the help btw, greatly appreciated.

Oh also, can i get that in Canada?
