Ram Vs Processor: The eternal question

So I'm building a new PC and I'm torn between what processor-ram combo I should get:
AMD Phenom II X6 1075T 3.0GHz, 16GB DDR3 1333 Ram
AMD FX-8120 Bulldozer 3.1GHz, 8GB DDR3 1600 Ram

Both cost about the same. So do I go for the faster processor but less ram, or do I go with the slower processor and more ram? I plan on doing some light gaming(basically PC games from 2-3 years ago, or older), some heavy spreadsheet work(lots of pivot tables, lots of formulas), and some time in the next year I would like to give 3D modeling another stab(with Blender 3D).

So, what do you guys think?
