I agree but with a slight modification

Since you are not gaming or using any processor intensive software, the use of a dual core processor is unnecessary

If you are looking to save some money you can get a MB/CPU combo that's a little older...I have an ASUS A78nx Deluxe coupled with a single core Athlon XP 3.2 GHz CPU from 5 years ago in mine and it still runs just about every game out there (upgraded video card and O/Cd GPU)
