Alright for gaming, but for a couple of quid extra you get a 2.8Ghz quad instead http://www.ebuyer.com/product/176579

Its alright, but for the same price you can pick up a Phenom 2 X3 720 which is much better.

if you do this, if your building a completly new PC then get an AM3 board, if your upgrading an old one or buying an AM2 board check the manufacturer and see if they have a BIOS update to support AM3 then make sure to have an AM2 CPU to update the BIOS first to ensure AM3 CPU support.
