that first link is just the bullet that you would buy if you planned on reloading....it's not a complete round

Midway USA and Sportsman Guide have good ammo prices. The first one you listed is a bullet that has been pulled out of a surplus cartridge, the second is just bulk ammo that may or may not be worth a damn. If not reloading buy the second, but don't be surprised if a lot of it won't fire or load correctly.

You can get a .22 bolt for a couple of hundred and plink much cheaper...

I have the CMMG kit that Wick posted and it runs like a top. It's not insanely accurate since the twist rate isn't set up for 22lr, but it allows you to shoot for cheap.
If you're a handloader, that first link is actually a really good price. Obviously if you don't handload, then buying 1000 pulled bullets won't help you unless you have a strong arm and can throw them 3000 fps .
You also need to decide if you're comfortable running steel in your gun. Some people say it's harder on parts, and I would have to agree. But I also don't mind running it occasionally since it's so dirt cheap. Some ARs will be a bit picky and not run steel but most of them will as long as they are properly lubed.
