Intel i3 core processor good enough for gaming?

[easternflame]

Hey PC escapists, I wanted to ask, is the intel i3 core processor good enough for me? I mostly play on the 360 but I'm interested in playing some games in the PC like Oblivion, DDO maybe even Warcraft, so Is it good enough? Or which one do you recommend?

The i3 is the equivalent of an Intel Celeron or Mobile processor. It has a cut down BUS speed, smaller cache, and it's only a dual core instead of a quad.

It's alright, but if you're upgrading your comp, it'll be out of date in too short a time to make it worthwhile. Go with an i5 at least.

It's a decent processor but it's only a dual core. Many new programs already have quad core support. I suggest going for Core i5 if you can so you can be future proof.
