8350 - i7 - or i5

Firstly: You just don't need that kind of power. - If you gonna game 80-90% of the time, and use it  for "light" rendering on a weekly basis get an i5, which is sill a monster in it's own right, with a good board, MSI z87-gd65 is a helluva board on the cheap for what it brings. 8350 is a good processor, but these days it seems to be the go to answer to every question on this thread.

You can't really go wrong with an FX 8350, it has eight cores & uses the same AMD instruction sets as the eight core Jaguar CPU in the PS4 & XBOX One.
Game development always starts with the consoles and trickles down to the PC, so the developers will optimize for the AMD eight cores.
This gives the chip a "massive" boost in performance according to Matt Higby from Sony Online Entertainment.
