For a generic gaming comp save yourself $50 on the CPU and put it towards a better graphics card.
From benchmarks I've seen (here) the Phenom II x4 965 BE does just as well, if not better, with gaming than the x6 1090T and costs $50 less.

+1 for the 965 and then you can get a way better vid card which will be more useful
most games cannot take advantage of 6 cores
