A Mac pro 2008 with 2 quad cores and 12 GB RAM, with an added GTX 950 (Likely to be ran with bootcamp)

Or An FX 6300, 1x 8GB DDR3, and a GTX 950

Gee, you two are REALLY helpful /endsarcasm

You said which one,

I said none. Simple as that.

an i3 and a 280x

What Aytex said is basically the most you'd get for around $400

I said which one OF THE TWO

And as far as the i3 is concerned, i want more than 2 cores. My past experiences with hyperthreading haven't been great (yes, i know the FX series don't use completely full cores)

If you are doing all of what you said I highly suggest save up more money for an i5/Xeon 1231v3

the plan is to get one of these to replace my C2Q build until i can afford an entusiast i7, latest and greatest GPU, and some other goodies.

If you wanna save some money in the future stick with an i3. You wouldn't have to get a whole new motherboard and an i3 alone is a good upgrade from a Core 2 Quad.

Or save up $300 for this which will destroy eather one of those builds in any task
