The Intel Core2 Duo Processor E8300 is a better proc IMO. I have quads and a T9300, and for video encoding the quad is better, but for EQ, the faster dual core proc is my choice. I'm running a T9300 and a Gforce 8800 GTS on my laptop and cannot believe the speed.

Regarding the graphics, the better card is always better then a slightly faster CPU, unless the CPU bottlenecks the GPU. In your case, I would go for the ATI Radeon HD3650 256MB .
