x2's aren't so bad now since they released the fx-57, and announced they were going to make that dual core soon. I'd reccomend a 4400+, or if you can afford it, a 4800+ (don't get a 4600 or 4200 because they only have 1mb L1 cache, where as the 4400 and 4800 have 1mb L2 cache).
Of course, if you get an fx, you will OWN, and will beat people with your brand spanking new ownage stick
-EDIT- On video, perhaps the new ATi X1800 or whatever it is, or if you want to get upgrades in the future, look into the 7800 gt / gtx, and try and get an sli motherboard so you can have two of the buggers
