    Depends what the purpose is.

    The first one would be better for encoding videos and other CPU intensive tasks, but the second one with the faster RAM would help in a gaming environment.

    Well it all depends what ram your using!!!

    If youve got ram which doesnt respond well to overclocking then go for the first one.

    However if you can reach that stable. Id say the second one. It would be more noticeable anyway.

    Why not just download a benchmarking tool and run the tests on both setups, rather than having to guess you'll have a definitive answer.
    Try PC Mark 05, unless ou need the extra feayures of the pro version it is free to use.
