I bought a quad, but if I had it to do over again, I think I'd prefer more clock rate and less cores. jmho. Not to say my quad doesn't work fine, I just think it could work better, and possibly for less money.

Looks good. Get a good quality, quiet, power supply.

if you dont need the quad core for encoding tasks then stick with a dual core.
