Hmmm.. You might want to do more research and come up with specific parts. Try going to newegg and copying links of products you plan to buy into your post.

I am not quite sure what you're asking but DO NOT get dual core. You basically want to get a system that fits into your budget with the fastest quad core you could get. I would try to get a build done with the i7 920 or i7 860. If those end up being out of your price range look at the i5 750 or a AMD 955/965.

Forget about dual cores.

Get a quad core and plenty of RAM.

Also, look into whether your software supports GPU acceleration.
