Depend on what you are doing with the PC. In 3D, video rendering and other aplications where you need a powerfull cpu an 6 or 8 core are the kings. For gaming a dual core or a quad core is enough depends on the games what you play. For surfing the web a sigle core is enough.

------------------------------ i7 2600 , AsRock P67 Extreme 6 ,2x4GB Corsair Vengeance 1600 , MSI 6950 2GB , HDD WD 640 AAKS , Corsair 620HX 620W , CPU cooler Zalman CNPS10X Performa , CoolerMaster 912, Philips Led 22"

ask in the system section for info on whole pc. if you're gonna build a new pc, then use this form, open a thread in the new build section.

most basic tasks - athlon ii x3 445, sandy bridge pentiums (g6xx, 8xx)
basic tasks with light gaming - core i3 2105, 2125, amd a8, a6
entry level gaming - athlon ii x4, phenom ii x2, x3, x4, core i3
mid range gaming - athlon ii x4, phenom ii x4, x6, core i5
high end gaming/ enthusiast / video editing/ heavy rendering- core i7
server - xeon, opteron.
