Upgrade advice

Xenon AMD Bulldozer FX-6 6300 3.50GHz DDR3 Bundle - Six Core [BU-189-OK]

Would anyone know if this would be a decent upgrade from my current Core Duo 8500 3.18?

With the extra cores, would it run GT!4 smoothly?

Many thanks for any advice offered.

Thanks for the replies - I dont think I worded my question properly....

My Core Duo 3.16 can run most of my games fine, but struggles with BF3 and GTA4. I understand that these game run better on a quad/six type CPU. My question should've been - if I buy the above bundle, will it run my old games as well as my core duo does - I'm not sure if the six core CPU will be as fast as the core duo when playing games that are programmed to use a single core, or two cores?

I hope I've explained this a bit more clearly this time.
