Since all builds share the same GPU and storage specs, only the RAM amount and CPU performance is different between the three. At today's gaming world, 16GB or RAM is more than enough. 48GB of RAM is handy if the PC would be used as a workstation build (e.g video rendering). With RAM amount out of the way, it comes down to the CPU performance.

For gaming, 1st build and it's Xeon E3-1240v3 (4 cores, 8 threads) is the best performing CPU out of all the three listed Xeon builds. Performance wise, 3rd build with Xeon X5660 (6 cores, 12 threads) comes at a second place.
