Good, yes!. Great, depends on the rest of your system. Intel processors (i5 and i7) are better in many circumstances (but not quite all) and although they cost more, they use less power and so need smaller power supply and produce less heat.

Yes, it is good! Espescially on a 8 core processor like this. However I will just like to note, if you are getting a good CPU cooler you can probably over clock this to about 4.5 GHz and thats me being safe.
