Well option number 3 can be ruled out immediately as it has no discrete GPU and the CPU is inferior to the other two.

2 beats 1 because it has more memory and a better GPU: http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-HD-8750M-vs-GeForce-GT-7...

So get 2 if you can afford it or 3 if you want to save money (no gaming on this one though). There just is no reason for getting 1 though.

So the 2nd is not worth the extra 20€?

SORRY, I'm way too tired for this!

I mixed up 2 and 1, I've fixed my previous message.
