An i3 is better than both; especially long-term. I currently own an 8320 I bought back in 2011, but if I would have gotten an i3 I could have upgraded without spending money on a new motherboard, or an i5 which would easily last a long time.

how much of a difference would an i5 over a 6300

 

Huge difference. I'd say the i5 4690K or 6600K is equivalent to three FX-6300s. Maybe even more.

so an i3 would be solid for gaming

most likely yes.If you can save for an i5 4430/4440/4460, it would be even better

Not entirely true. I could be happy spending £300 on a gaming pc for it to stutter etc, that is a problem even if like I said I was happy... The whole FX is shit commenting on this site needs to die in a fire because you can game with them.

The whole recommending FX needs to die with Zen right around the corner, FX is not a good buy now.

you can, but the i5-4460 cost the same once you factor in motherboard and CPU cooling for the FX and the i5 perform better across the board...in EVERY games.

 

I have a FX-8320 and i have absolutely no issues with it when gaming.

because you have an appropriate GPU for it...throw a GTX 780 or a 970/980/390/390X/290/290X at it and will start to limit your performance in many games...i know i owned a 4.6ghz FX-8320 paired with a GTX 780 and the CPU was not fast enough in many games...the IPC is too low.
