is the Intel® HD Graphics 3000 is good for gaming or not

if you are talking about games like WOW then NO. All most all newer games are looking for Radeon or ATI GPUs.

maybe some older games or facebook games will work.

The Intel HD 3000 is marginally better than a desktop Radeon HD 5450. The Radeon HD 6550D graphics core in an A8-3850 by itself is faster than the desktop Radeon HD 5550, but slower than the Radeon HD 5570.

The Radeon HD 6620G is, I think, a mobile Radeon HD 6570 in asymmetrical Crossfire with the integrate Radeon HD 6550D. The result should be better performance than a desktop Radeon HD 5570; that should be a given since the HD 6570 itself is faster than the HD 5570. However, in total the performance should be less than the desktop Radeon HD 6670.

That is my overall gut feeling since I have not really seen any asymmetrical Crossfire benchmarks.

Based on the following benchmarks, it seems the integrated Radeon HD 6550D is overall a bit slower than a desktop Radeon HD 5550.

im trying to decide weither SB hd3000 mgrphics will be enough to play sc2 and wow on medium-high settings. the a8 apu is said to beat the i3's hd2000 graphics but this is a $200 diference in mobo and cpu purchases. Can the apu's "cpu" be overclocked? Im pretty sure the gpu can be but at the same time im really attracted towards the SB on chip coding features
