i3-530 or Athlon x2 5200+ or Pentium E5800?


Hi guys, I'm stuck at picking a viable home/work PC for mom. I'm somehow limited to $80 budget. She don't play BF4 or AC3 whatsoever game. 100% would be used for social medias, emails, and MS Office apps. What would be the best of the three? 

 

Here's a quick rundown of 5200 and 5800 builds:

 
CPU: Athlon X2 5200
Heatsink: Deepcool
MOBO: Various with Radeon X1250
RAM: 2GB DDR2 800MHz
PSU: 450W
Case: Rise 831
 
CPU: Pentium E5800
Heatsink: 775
MOBO: G31 DDR2
PSU: 350W
RAM: DDR2 2GB 800MHz
GPU: nVidia 8400GS
Case: Rise 831
 
 
OS will be Win7 x64. And yes, I'll be upgrading it to 4GB of RAM.
