The most balanced of them is the Phenom, simply because it has the best graphics card and that's where you get your value for gaming.

I'd avoid any FX processors that don't have a 3 as the 2nd digit, as that indicates they are the current range (ie FX6300, FX8320).

Without specifying your budget (quid could be any currency) it's going to be hard for people to make suggestions.
Also, you might want to specify a few things. Namely what your display resolution is, and whether you intend to focus on single player (which is GPU limited) or multiplayer (which leans heavier on the CPU, meaning a good quad core is highly recommended).

I highly doubt anyone plays Battlefield 3 for the singleplayer.

OP: If possible, please include links to the sales pages for those PCs, or if they're made to order, at least post the price for each. Also consider buying a system without a graphics card, then buying and installing one yourself (a fairly simple process, even if you've never touched the insides of a computer before), if the price premiums seem to be a bit high.
