It sounds like your having this system built for you. If that's the case, then by all means let the pros put in the processor for you and put the $150 on it. But whichever scenario you go with either setup should run your apps quite well.

For an average gamer(as you say) both ram and processor are more than adequate. Does this sytem have a video card, or is it onboard video? Depending on the motherboard installed and the chip it has will determine how well your games may play, if onboard video is used.
