Shitcan the motherboard. That onboard video is a slap in the face. You'll need at least a Radeon 9600 Pro or GeForce FX 5700 Ultra to play FFXI, and it won't hurt your Warcraft 3 performance either.

This isn't a generic "Intel sux" comment, but if you went with AMD, you'd save $100 off the bat. Take that and buy a better videocard. Sapphire's Radeon 9800 Pro at NewEgg is $200...an incredible deal. If you don't want to spend that much, I'd try to find one of the aformentioned cards for around $130. Don't pay more than $140 for either one of them.
