Very quick question

[fallout3masseffect2]

Hi all, I was wondering, for my new build, which will be primarily gaming, should I go with:

(All have an extra 100 added on for my monitor)

i3 2100 and Radeon HD 6950 - $440

OR

i5 2400 and Radeon HD 6870 - $410

OR

i3 2100 and Radeon HD 6870 - $362

I will be using internet browsing with a few tabs, itunes, and Microsoft word all open at the same time when I'm not playing games. Also, I'm fine with games not being high settings, medium is fine with me.

So which combo should I go with?

I would probably choose the middle one with i5 2400 and HD 6870.
It should be able to play games at medium settings using 1080p and the quad core CPU should work great for multitasking.

Ok, thanks for the help. I'll go with that.
