Which Surface would be best for me?

Many of you may be aware that a big Microsoft event was held to reveal a bunch of new products, including the Surface Pro 4.

I'm looking for a device for usage cases including any sort of light animation / art, gaming (think Minecraft), school work, and general tablet use.

But then I saw that the Surface 3 is also compatible with the new pen; I thought to myself, "Do I need the Pro 4?"

I want to keep the cost down as much as possible, but will the Surface 3 be sufficient for my use cases?

Which one should I get?

**I plan to keep this for a few years.

All the configuration of surface pro 4 is good.
