is 6GB DDR2 ram good for todays game?

6GB is better than 4GB, but in all seriousness, the Haswell Pentium based setup with 8GB DDR3 is the best setup you can buy for the money and linked with a much faster GPU. The Pentium is faster than either of the Phenom II processors for gaming, period. The 3258 can also overclock and when overclocked can rival i5/i7 performance very easily giving you even more of an edge over the old AMD CPU. Not to mention future upgradability.
