PC under ~ $400

Less cores. There are very few programs out there that utilize more than two cores, and i am willing to bet less than half of the programs out there even utilize two cores. focus should be on RAM(4gigs is good) and CPU, and a cheap graphics card. HDD speed shouldnt be below 7200 RPMs.

video conversion does. I would personally go with more cores

The answer is: depenRAB on what you are using the comp for. For most uses, gaming or very general use higher clock speed is a better way to spend your money. If you are doing a lot of video or work with software that utilizes the cores, then get more cores. Most software does not benefit from the extra cores.
