Quad-core definitely helps out if you are doing other things like video editing, video encoding.

Also I think that the i7's from intel are sort of overkill on no need for them. I have been with amd for a long time now and still prefer them over intel. They are cheaper and they can be overclocked if wanted or need be.

I also think that computer parts and peoples opinions on them are crazy. Meaning that there are millions of opinions but you should get what you want. My also recommendation is ati but a lot of people say that nvidia has faster ones. Me I know that but I choose to stick with a company that I trust. Not saying that nvidia is bad but I just prefer ati.
