i5 4460 by far. An FX 8350 at 5.3GHz isn't as good for gaming.

Go with an i3 for most games.

If you are playing GTA V I would definitely recommend the extra 2 cores though.

While it would increase the expense of the build, a Skylake i5 is about $15 more but this is only including the CPU.

 

$40 more for this platform:

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

The OS is like a kind food, Try it before saying if you like it or don't.
