I have two systems I could possibly create. Both are meant for gaming. One is centered around the Intel i3-2120 and the other around the Intel i5-2400. Now I am up to the task of searching through benchmarks, posts, and reviews to match each with a great graphics card for under 180 dollars.
Possibilities:
1. Radeon HD 6870 1GB
2. GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 1GB
3. Radeon HD 6850 1GB
4. Any others I missed?
Possible variations:

If I should get another brand for one of them instead, feel free to mention the better brand or whichever would have the best clock speed, etc.
All in all, what video card do I get for each CPU?
