Is it good at gaming?
Yes definitively, you will be able to run every game over 60fps with ease on todays standard 60Hz monitor. For a 144Hz monitor you need a better CPU to get the most out of it.
It's phenomenal at gaming. It does run slightly hot sometimes but you can just optimize the in-game settings a tad to fix that. Only game that heats up a lot is GTA 5 but that's because it's a CPU-heavy game and I'm using the stock cooler.
Got it on sale, 50$ cheaper than the i5-6500 and only 3% less performance :p , very nice CPU to match with an RX 480 card, no bottleneck
