I would get the basic quadcore, q6600, great for multi-tasking. It is also one of the better cpu's out there now.

You can play around with the chart and see what does best for what.
The q6600 may lose on some benchmarks but remember it is less likely to bog down with numerous applications.
Good tip too, a good amount of RAM is required, if you plan on serious multi-tasking I would get a 64 bit OS and 4 gigs of memory, it wouldn't have to be high performance memory, just a good amount of it.
