I highly doubt that quad-core would be the best option, because I've heard technical discussions about it being less efficient per core than a dual or single core CPU. Also, 4GB is just overkill.

I'm going to purchase a computer hopefully this year. I set mine up at cyberpowerpc.com. Give me some advice on changes if you have any.
