Please don't link me other computers(unless newegg and less than $600), out of these three which is the best for the price. Would be used for light gaming(e.g. RuneScape, COD:4) and some photo editing(Photoshop).
PC #1:
AMD FX-Series FX-6300(3.50GHz Core Clock) 6 threads
8GB DDR3-1600Mhz
1TB 7200RPM 3.5" HDD
Windows 8.1 64-bit
AMD Radeon HD 7730 1GB GPU
350W Power Supply
AMD 760G Chipset
$500
~
PC #2:
Intel Core i5 3350P (3.10GHz) Quad Core 4 threads, ivy bridge
16GB DDR3-1600Mhz
1TB SATA III 3.5" HDD Capacity
Windows 8 64-bit
NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 3GB
300W Power Supply
Intel H61 Chipset
$580
~
I'd assume #3 would be the best for the price as it's got room for upgrades (GPU-wise).
PC #3:
Intel Core i5 4430(3.00GHz) Quad Core 4 threads, Haswell
8GB DDR3-1600
1TB SATA III HDD Capacity
Windows 8
NVIDIA GeForce GT 640, 3GB
Blu Ray Reader & Writer
H87 Chipset motherboard
500W PSU
$540
Thanks for your time (: Getting one of these for somebody(Not gonna build because no effort).

As it states in thread, as long as it's good enough to play RuneScape 3, COD: 4, maybe MW2 on low or better settings then I'm all good.
Is #2 best for the price, or would #3 be?

I don't know but I would say 3 purely because it has a 500W Power Supply so you can upgrade..

All are complete trash. They look like pre builds and will struggle in any game. The 640 and 7730 were never designed for gaming. More as just a video output.
If you really want one of these though. Number 3 is your best bet. Haswell beats Ivy Bridge. Slighty. But you have more chance of playing games on it...

Would they play the games stated above at medium graphics or better?(RuneScape 3, COD: 4?)

You definatly want to go with 16GB of RAM, Video and picture editing can use up a lot of RAM, go with a i5-4670k or no "k" version, you want something to be high Ghz so you get more processes per second

And just because a CPU has a higher clock rate doesn't mean it's better. And that CPU is out of his price range.
