I was under the impression that the phenom II 8xx series were actually pretty similar to Athlon IIs in that they lack L3 cache, which makes a difference in some games but not others.
Is this CPu good for gaming? No graphics card yet but i will pick a decent card up only if i know i wont get bottle necked with the processor.

its an Athlon II rebranded as Phenom II lacking L3 cache but with decent clocks i suppose but you are better off with Phenom II's as this one is not good enough.
I wouldnt go with an Phenom II CPU now since I think they will struggle with newer games. If you really have a tight budget, maybe go for the AMD Piledriver CPUs?
