Is AMD Athlon 2 x2 245 2.9 Ghz good for gaming ?

Im just curious what games i can play with that CPU and a decent GPU im gonna buy

It's not a fast CPU. What GPu will you buy as that makes most difference.

you would be better off buying something else. preferably a phenom 2 960 if your motherboard supports it.

Even though it's an older CPU it is still capable for gaming, Just you as high as you could with a newer cpu

It depends on your other hardware:
-If you want to upgrade to it without getting a new motherboard, then get the athlon x2 270 @ $55.
-If you want to upgrade with a new mobo and will not have a video card, then get the AMD A-4 5300 @ $55.
-If you are getting a video card, then get the Intel celeron G555 @ $57.
