this looks like a gaming pc? so yes i5(get the quad core 760 for £7 more) and GTX470 rules.

i5 760 vs 1055t - http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/191?vs=147 some of the garaphs are lower is better.

GTX470 vs 5850 - http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/160?vs=164

so out of the three listed specs, I would pick the third with the change of cpu.
