is this a good processor for gaming and i mean games like battlefield and crysis, higher end games, Phenom II X6 1045T (AMD HDT45TWFGRBOX Phenom II X6 1045T Processor - Six Core, 6MB L3 Cache, 3MB L2 Cache, 2.70GHz, Socket AM3, 95W, Fan, Retail at TigerDirect.com)
It will, I have one PC with an AMD Fx 4100 and there's nothing it won't run so far. I do keep my games library up to date. Crysis and Crysis 2 even with the high res. pack will be no problem at all. My father in law has all the latest Battlefied games and runs with the same CPU. Of course the amount of Ram you have and speed of drives, graphics set up etc; will make an impact on performance.
Yes that's more then enough for games, I have a althon ii 640 x4 that i clocked up to 3.6 that runs modern games fine and that cpu is newer technology and has l3 cache unlike mine which is only l1 and l2 but still runs fine for me at decent fps in 1080p with my 6870.
