The game will only use one core of your processor, so you are going to want the absolute fastest core you can afford.

Many, many, many other games will only use one core. You need to prioritize your compents while keeping this in mind. First-Person-Shooters have extremely complex AI and physics engines (the Havoc engine, in particular), and will choke on a slow core.

It's the "drawback" of going dual core. You've got to plan for games that can only use one of them.
