:welcome: to the forums.

RAM is more important when you are jugggling around with a lot of video editing or several things happening at once.
A better processor will help when rendering or processsing things down, but if you are not creating a 3D pixar film then you dont need that much of a powerful processor. It just helps.
So personally I'd go for more RAM.

I'd go quad core over dual core.

Im editing myself


What do you mean by online games and what do you mean by multimedia?

proper online games like call of duty crysis2 or flash games on facebook? video editing or just watching?

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/251310 there is this around the same price once you add windows 7 64 bit oem to it. It will come with drivers and you just install the OS and drivers and its up and running quite a simple job. Bigger hard drive more ram
