or

If it's just for gaming, then get the AMD + SSD.

In terms of performance, TOMS just did their CPU review and ranked the processors:

In terms of noticeable performance, I think you will see more of a difference in a better processor, especially in gaming. Not to mention, its easier to upgrade your hard drive later than upgrading your outdated processor (since sockets change)

Don't waste your money on an SSD, you wait 1-2 years and that things price is gonna drop big time and you'll wanna cry
