From all of those 3, the processor is more or less near each other. If possible, I would pick the newest one.
Same for GPU, pick the youngest one, GTX1050.
It has only one slow mechanical HDD? I think you can still ad an SSD to FX553VD line-up.Originally, the I7 7700HQ came with 128GB SSD and 1TB HDD.
The only bad thing is the TN screen. But, I think this should not be a big problem.
