    Can you recommend a good cpu for gaming?


    I am getting ready to get a new cpu for my computer and I would like a recommendation for a decent cheap gaming cpu I could get around $150. Right now I'm looking at this one Newegg.com - AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor HDZ965FBGMBOX
    I'm not looking for anything outstanding though as long as its better than my current
    AMD Athlon II X2 215 processor.

    That's the same cpu I have in my system.....runs every thing well GTA 4, Mafia 2, and Flatout......

    Some of the chips are very good over-clockers....but not mine

    You haven't filled out your system spec's so I can't tell if you have a AM3+ board....
