Yup, it's definitly good enough to get the job done. But you won't get monster overclocks out of it.

It should be good enough, as long as you're not doing any overclocking. What's your budget/location?

Or alternatively, which of the following (attached screenshot) post-222804-0-13751100-1429482547.png might I upgrade it up to? Without wanting to spend more money really. Going for value here.
