Less-Than-Shite Performance
major:
Going dual would IMHO be stupid.
namajnaG:
Sure, Going dual is pretty bad.
I own a dual core myself. (Intel E7500 2.93GHz) I would had got a quad, But I was lacking funds.
Although, If you mean running GE:S at 60FPS you will have absolutely no problems at all, Even with anti-aliasing on with a dual. (Be sure to grab a good video card though. I know you will.)
Although I highly recommend going for a quad core.
If you play games such as BF Bad Company 2 with a dual, You will notice the game runs smooth, But takes a very long time to load.
Going quad is the way to go.

or even triple core if you want: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103872

That depends if he is going for Intel or AMD.
major:
I think the CPU you first picked is best bet. Once you decide if your gonna get a larger mobo(then needs a new case) you should be all good to go.
My Q6600 has been pretty great. Holding strong for a couple years (even with a 800MHZ OC). I hold Intel CPU's high. I frankly think of AMD as a great choice if your on a budget. If you need a really cheap quadcore that your gonna use as a media center or just for video rendering its a great choice. While even thought Intel is higher priced, its more of a all around work horse. And Intel CPU's seem to stay relevant longer.
