It's good for a small form factor budget gaming box. Kaveri closes the gap but at this point you can still buy a cheap non-APU processor + $100 faster discrete graphics card that will perform better at about the same cost. Even if simply buy the same-ish GPU in discrete form with GDDR5 (~$80) it will perform better than an APU paired up with DDR3. Even more so if you don't pay the premium to get fast DDR3 modules. APUs take a big performance hit when paired up with less expensive / slower DDR3 modules.
