To give you a good idea of where that i5 stacks up, it is VERY similar in performance to my i3-390M CPU in my 400 dollar laptop. Here is a link to the benchmark for the i5-760, followed by a benchmark on the current flagship CPU i7-4770k:
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i5+760+%40+2.80GHz&id=773
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i7-4770K+%40+3.50GHz&id=1919
The i7-4770k flat runs all over it in every category.
UPDATE: I'll try to put it in terms that are easy to picture........
Let's say you're going to war and you have to buy your own gun. Someone offers to GIVE you a Red Rider BB gun, or you can pay 1,000.00 and get an AK-47. Which one would you pick?
I'd pay the 1,000.00 too. LOL
I know....it's a stupid analogy. But it gets the point across.

I wasn't calling you stupid. LOL Just trying to point out that even if it was FREE, do you really want it? Is it going to fill your needs in a good gaming computer? This is just my own view, but I want something that will allow me to game (or whatever other task that I use my PC for) at a very high level.....a level that gives excellent FPS/graphics. If you're ok with accepting the limitations that will be imposed by an aged CPU, then by all means go for it. But if you're really wanting to have a high-end build with superior graphics/speed/etc., I would think again before paying ANY money for it. There really is no right or wrong answer. It all comes down to what you want and/or need. 
Yeah i understand what you mean and i already know that it's pretty aged (hence the fact that the naming scheme is only 3 letters) i'm just wondering if their is going to be an significant fps differences if i use this over let's say a i5-2400 or a fx 6300.
