You can definitely save some money on a gaming rig by using the previous generation CPU, and there really aren't any games that are truely multi-core enabled yet (or CPU bottle-necked). But from the other side of things, by purchasing the new technology now you will save the hassle of upgrading the motherboard and CPU again in 18 months when the games start to catch up. Quad-core definitely helps out if you are doing other things like video editing, video encoding.
