From a gaming perspective, most games are far more GPU limited than CPU limited so I don't think you'd have too much trouble with any of these processors ...

Depending on what else you intend to do would largely determine which processor you buy; if you're doing a lot of video conversion (from DivX to DVD) many of these programs are single threaded so it would be a good idea to look at which is better at single threaded applications, while 3D rendering packages tend to be multi-threaded.

If you're mostly using it to read email, work in MS Office (and what not) I would go with whichever is cheapest.
