Always happy to help, if you're looking at building a PC just post up a list & I'll happily give feedback :)

Just remember that for Runescape core count doesn't matter. RS only uses /one/ core, no matter how many you have. So, you need the fastest single core you can - A 3.2ghz C2D is going to be better than a 2.0ghz I5 or w/e, simply because each core is faster.

Yup, I totally agree (though you can't actually buy a current gen desktop i5 that is that slow and the Sandy Bridge architecture is so efficient that there wouldn't be that much difference between a 3.2 C2D and a 2.0 Ghz Sandy Bridge i5).
I think though that Tom is trying to build this PC in preparation for Bioshock Infinite, which being a game that will be released sometime in 2012(?) I'm sure it will have multi-core support. I also believe that Jagex has stated previously that Runescape does have the ability to support multiple cores when they enable it, so sometime in the future we're quite likely to see RS running on multiple cores (I would guess once they've done a major graphics upgrade).

I have an I5 Sandy Bridge thingymajig@
