For something like that...go with whatever you can get a better deal on.

AMD Radeon R9 290X / AMD FX-8320 / Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 / Samsung 830 128GB / Seagate 7200RPM 3TB / Corsair HX 850W / BitFenix Shinobi XL / CPU & GPU Watercooled - Thick Triple 360 Rad

It's been well established that the i5 is better for gaming. That said, it's not much of a difference anyway, especially if you plan to OC. I'm an AMD guy, so I recommend the 8350, because its a better value, and its just baller to be able to say you have an 8-core cpu. There's very little difference, especially with Win8. But... Go with the i5 if you want "the best" for gaming.

What graphics card are you gonna be using?

Graphics card would be the decision maker in this situation.

AMD Radeon R9 290X / AMD FX-8320 / Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 / Samsung 830 128GB / Seagate 7200RPM 3TB / Corsair HX 850W / BitFenix Shinobi XL / CPU & GPU Watercooled - Thick Triple 360 Rad
