Its the price from a shop keeper so not really a good deal.And depending on GPU you are going to bound with this processor it may or may not be your so called future proof since I really dont believe in this term.Try finding a used 10th gen i5..That will definitely last your longer..

Short answer: No it is not

Long answer: Depends.... Which games are we talking about, what min FPS do you want, what sort of graphic quality are you looking for, etc. You can run almost anything even on a potato PC if you optimise it and lower the settings enough.

FYI, future proofing in PC building for gaming, generally means building at least a Mid-Tier system NOW, that can still game in next 3-5 years albeit at lower settings. For reference, Mid-tier now, would be 5600X.

But if by future proofing you mean buying a PC now and upgrade it as time goes, then intel ain't a good start for a building block, as they have seperate motherboards for almost each Gen of CPUs.
