I only have around $300 for a upgrade and I wanted to switch to Intel but I don't have enough. Also, I wanted to get a SSD. I'm only a student and mostly use my computer for gaming and light work. I sometimes host servers for games like Minecraft, Cube World and others. I personally my CPU is hurting my build the most and I want to replace it. The CPU and HDD are from a old HP computer that I previously had.

Ok, after pulling a few strings I came up to this. I have two options for my upgrade.
Option (A):

Option(B):

For option B, I had a little extra left over so I got a cooler. With option A, I don't have a SSD which I think will slow me down.
