Opinion on Computer Builds CPU

Hello,
I am going to be building my own computer to play video games on and I have created 3 different builds and I was wondering what one was the best of all of them.

Build 1:
RAM- Ripjaws X Series- 8GB
CPU- Intel Core i7 Quad Core 3.6ghZ
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-H61M-USB3H
Build 2:
Ram- 16gb Crucial Ram
CPU- Core i5 Ivy Bridge 3.1ghz Quad Core
Motherboard- ASRock H81M-DGS
Build 3:
Ram- 16(2X8) gb Crucial Ram
CPU- Core i5 Ivy Bridge 3.1ghz Quad Core
Motherboard- ASRock H81M-DGS
Video Card- XFX R7-250A-ZNF4 Radeon R7 250 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 Video Card

Thanks,

I would go for Build 3 Unless other builds have GPU's.

I think this is the best advice youll find. the i5 CPU is ideal, 8GB RAM is the sweet spot though. SPEND MORE ON A MOTHERBOARD. don't spend less than 80$ it will hold your system BACK. And you didn't mention a power supply unit, people think they can get away with a cheapy one cuz it doesn't seem like an important component but you need a HIGH quality 500w minimum PSU for your build (Antec, Seasonic, XFX, Corsair is usually pretty good). 450w would be pushing it pretty close, and that GPU kinda sucks. Save up a little more and get at least the r9 270X. The GPU u have listed in build 3 is "new" but its specs aren't, most new games need 2 or more GB of gddr5 RAM on the GPU. yours only has 1GB and is out of date by now.
