No buddy, when it comes to gaming even a i3-2100 will beat the OC'ed 960T. But for Full HD gaming GPU matters more. So the config is pretty okay for your needs. Moreover its quad core and will show a real world difference while using multi-threaded apps.

You can even unlock it to a Hexa Core when you need it.

Better get the Asus M5A 880-M motherboard which is a true AM3+ Motherboard.
