I think this has 4MB L2 & 4MB L3 cache, 8MB total not 8MB for each... still not bad for a cheap AM3 build, especially if you already have the board.

Yes
It will run GTA v and bf4 1080p high/normal mix decent fps

Bf1 will run but get a bit busy for it.

At this point I don't see much reason to go to this... Want cheap gaming it's the G4560 for $20ish more and plenty of cost effective mobo's.

Unless you have some 870 mobo with an older Athlon II X4 630 Propus and don't want to yet buy into DDR4 and a mobo, this $50 might be a slight upgrade.

^ A lot of people who build or buy low end systems will have something less than a 630 in an AM3 board, if they have a CPU at all yet.
