Budget SSD build CPU help
Building a new office comp replacing a AMD 2500 with a gig of ram used for basic office stuff but I want fast boot up and load times. The total budget is $700 not including a dvd drive.
For a SSD drive it's between these 2.

and

One thing I am not sure of is that CPU to get. Should I go with a cheap AMD quad core or should a get a Intel I3.
