Solved!
*EDIT* SOLVED! I am going for the 750. Thanks everyone!
I am building a computer for my wife (I can build a top of the line computer for the price she would pay for a mid-line one). However, I'm stuck on choosing which i5 processor to get.

She'll be using her computer for internet, photoshop, illustrator, and corel paint, as well as burning dvd/cd. And she generally does a lot of multitasking. I would prefer getting her an i7, but it's out of our price range. Though I think i5 will be just fine. The problem is figuring out which of the i5's are better. The dual cores with high operating frequency, or that one quad core with a high L3 cache.
As of right now, i'm pushing for either the 750 (the second one in the list) or the 661 (the fourth and last one in the list). I'm sure I can just throw out the first and second ones since their specs are both the same and the fourth one is better choice out of the dual cores.
Anywho, any help will be much appreciated. Thanks, guys!
