Hey Aston998,
If I were you it would be between the 2.7 ghz model and the 2.9ghz model, if you can afford the later then definitely go for it the Graphics Card in it will be a great advantage.
I would avoid the base end model cheaper model though, the processor really isn't up to scratch for the price range and you would definitely benefit from a quad-core not to mention a bigger Hard Drive.
The great thing about getting a Mac over a PC going into Uni is the stability and lifeline of it, i'm typing on my 5 year old Macbook Pro and it has outlived all of my friends Windows based Laptops and Computers twice over, if you're going to play games like World of Warcraft and maybe a few others there's no need to have an over the top dedicated gaming computer in my opinion.
I'd recommend going in and having a chat at a store they are really helpful and will help you get the right computer for you, also if you do don't forget to mention Student Discount.
