Alright, let me put in my two cents here.
You're not doing anything too cpu intensive, nor anything that will really utilize all four cores. Why not drop down to a 720BE I have no issues playing anything with eye candy on and all. A bit of a mild overclock (just adjusting multiplier and voltages) and you get a great gaming pc on a budget.
I have one of those chips that can unlock fourth core, and for everyday computing and gaming I don't really notice any difference between 3 vs 4 cores @ 3.6ghz.
So maybe save a little bit of money, and put it towards a great monitor or just saving money in general.
