I would get what ever is going to give you better performance in CAD. I know it is pretty dependant on the GPU so do a bit of research and figure out if a quad will benefit you in that program. If so go with it. 3.4Ghz is almost a sure thing on a G0. With an E8400 3.8Ghz is pretty much a sure thing. (Yes both typically will go farther but lets look at the worst case scenario). The dual will give you better gaming performance but will 5FPS really make that big of a difference if you can get better performance in CAD?
Now if gaming is the primary purpose with just a bit of CAD thrown in on the side then just go with the dual.
