I wouldn't get a dual. Get a cheap quad imo
You could go dual but then u can't have a bunch of other apps open at the same time - I always have a million things open but everyone is different I guess?

I'd check Craigslist for these first tho, might be able to get something on the cheap

I would recommend the amd fx 6300.
Can get for $50 used.
mb's are cheap.
uses cheap ddr3 ram
and can be overclocked to 5.0ghz

A cheap system that runs modern games.
What would you recommend that is in the same price range?
