Three Possible Builds - Which one?

I'm aiming to get the best value for performance. I'm using this exclusively for gaming + general work stuff (I do a lot of internet-based research, and I do a lot of writing).

I'm not looking for frills, overclocking, or anything insane. I just want a computer that runs well, is easy to keep clean, runs cool and relatively quiet. I want to keep the maintenance on this thing fairly low, but have it easy to do when I need to. I'd like a fairly light tower (my CM Storm Scout has a nice carry handle, but weighs a damn ton). I would probably put the CM Hyper 212 on any system to increase its cooling capabilities, but I was considering a Corsair Hydro H55.

My current monitor is a 19x10, but I'm likely to go over to 1080p soon. I'll probably make a dual-monitor setup for work stuff, but not for gaming.

Thoughts?

all very sensible builds, not a lot to chose between them.
None have an SSD, which would give you a big performance improvement.
Try the stock cooler before upgrading - you might find it quiet enough

Here is my favourite (similar to a PC i just built) :-
Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
Gigabyte GA-H81M-HD3 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB FTW ACX 2.0 Video Card
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
EVGA Supernova Power Supply
DVD optical drive
Case of your choice
