The 370 is better, MUCH better. However that being said I suggest you post a full build. Sometimes there is money to be saved, like going with an h chipset motherboard instead of the Z, not splurging on that $100 case in a $500 build, and so on, which may be able to bump you up to the R9 380.

Budget for whole PC please.

If you can afford it, get a GTX 950 or a 2GB R9 380. Better deal IMO.

prefer the amd for the 6 cores and for the fact that i won't really be upgrading the cpu hence wanting something powerful to start

also with tax that is way over budget

they are about equal in performance, however the i3 draws far less power and for the most part is better at gaming (most games only use 2-4 threads not 6 hence the i3 wil perform better)

but there is still the problem of price for it is around $100 more when counting taxes

my prices do vary a bit for the sales and the fact I don't need to ship those parts.

doing some studying i came upon the choice for a later upgrade on the 13 4170 would mean more money out of the pocket and

my build has an atx motherboard which when put into your build doesn't really work for my price.

Although I won't be upgrading the motherboard would allow me to have more pci slots and more variety in the future if i choose to ADD anything (not change)

^ This...  and if you can't wait, get an Intel i3-6100, it will in most respects be faster than the FX-6300 if gaming is your goal.  Same price, better chip.  Pair it to a H110 motherboard, save money there too.

The AMD isn't powerful, it is priced where it is for a reason.

 

http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/350/AMD_FX-Series_FX-6300_vs_Intel_Core_i3_i3-6100.html

 

In single theaded applications, the i3-6100 is 74% faster on average, in purely multi-threaded applications, they are dead even.  Except that few applications can really use ALL 6 cores effectively, making the i3 faster most of the time.

 

The FX-6300 also has no upgrade path, the i3 does because the upcoming Kabe Lake should drop right in, should you want a i5 in the future.

 

The i3 also pulls about half the power of the FX chip.

if the case is ... 750 Ti 2GB or R7 370 4GB

 

go with the 370

do scrapyard wars style rather than buying new low end hardware

This is what I would do if I had a hard limit of 600:

However, I would do whatever I could to try and get an i5 instead of the i3. It's a huge bump.
