Which would be better, an FX 8350 or a 6300? There's a lot of debate either side, and I just can't decide!

The 8320/8350 has 2 extra cores than the 6300

if you can afford it and it's not effecting the rest of the build go for a 8320 as its just a low clocked 8350.

I have the 8320 and its a good CPU.

I render videos, record and play games so not the most hard core use from it

The 6300 will be fine if you plan on just playing games. Light rendering can be done but its going to take a while.

Also, ive never seen my 8320 use more than 2/4 cores when playing games other than playing BF4 so the extra cores isnt going to help

Take a look at this

Im just in the middle of rendering an 80GB clip and its going to take an hour. That's all them 8 cores being used but if you only game, then get the 6300.
