For gaming, just get a good video card, that is way more important. Games have been crippled by consoles for 5 years, you don't need a powerful CPU.

Here's Arkham Asylum running at a higher res than any consoles, with much higher settings, AND 8xAA, with a Radeon 6870, on all CPUs from a $1000 extreme to an old Phenom II you can't even buy anymore

Any video card over $150 will give you plenty of performance in games
