No one will be able to help much unless you tell us what you plan to run on the system. All else equal, the faster CPU and more RAM are usually better - how much better depends on what you plan to do with the system.
For everyday use - browsing, word processing, etc. there will be little or no difference between the two CPUs, and you won't notice much difference with the extra 2G of RAM.
