these are all "old" processors... the quad is from Q3'09!
I would go for a model with Ivy Bridge processor. A bit faster than Sandy Bridge and less power consuming.

If you plug in such a big processor and a big video card then you'll need a power cord as well very quickly.
But if you want a quad core then i would say one of these:

or if you want the biggest one:
