fx 4300 vs athlon x4 860k vs a10 7850k

What do you think is the best gaming cpu? (not planning to buy anything, just curious on what would be the fastest) 
RULES: gaming performance, all at 4.2 ghz, the gpu is an r7 265. I go for the athlon, since it is the cheapest calculating motherboard cost too.

Athlon x4 860 is an A10-7850 without the iGPU so those are pretty much equal. My choice would be the Athlon X4 860K since it's newer and pretty good and will not bottleneck an R7 265. If it were my choice though I would pick an I3.

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Out of those 3 I would pick the Athlon X4 860K.

How about a R7 250X with an A-10?

99% sure 250X doesn't have the dual graphics stuff.

 

250 and 250x is a big gap (like 2x the cores)

 

out of those 860k + 265 is the best choice

A10 7850K anyday... I like having a backup to run things on in case the 265 throws in the towel...

Based on previous experience the Athlon x4 860k, Because they are workhorse of a CPU for the price, My last Athlon lasted me from 2009 until February 2014 and was still playing games at 1080p if it wasn't for content creation I would still be using it today.
