for gaming a phenom six core processor is a waste
suppose if the op wants to upgrade to a better processor he has got a i5 750, and even i7 860, 870 for lga 1156 socket. i7 860 & 870 beat x6 1090 in gaming and are neck to neck in multi threaded apps. 860 is priced same as x6 1090. same the case with i5 750 and 1055t.
consider anandtech cpu bench
i3 is not far behind x4 630 in multi threaded apps and is better in gaming.
so i don't understand why people are bent on killing intel???
