3 Cores won't help at all, all you need is 2 cores. So getting an i7 won't help either because the extra 2 cores are redundant. Getting the highest clockspeeds on a 2 core cpu would be the most cost effective and best solution. Also, to play ssbb you dont need much more than a 2.5 ghz to play fullspeed (dunno about vs mode) with 4 players (3 cpus)
