It's fine as long as you're not playing CPU intensive stuff like Planetside 2 or RTS's and expecting great fps in them. It's a good cpu for a budget. What's your total budget and what is your gpu and other parts of your pc? Intel is better, but costs more. If you want the best, get an i5 4670k and a z87 board, but, I understand not everybody wants to spend the money on that.
