Pair this with an Asrock Extreme MB and you have a very fast machine. Throw in a GTX 560 and an SSD drive and you have a very faster gaming machine...for under $400.
A GTX560 is no-longer a good buy most are $140-160.
I'd say look at the 7850 1Gb for like $160 it provides 15% more performance, lower power usage, and the frame latancy vs Femi isn't even in the same league.

Think about the cost with Intel, this is a great CPU, i love it.
