The Bulldozer Chip(FX 8120) is an older series.
The latest version is an FX 8320.

Advantages of the 8320.

-8 cores while the 6300 only has 6, so multi-threaded processes like rendering will be much faster.
-Better core for core performance over the 6300 meaning better gaming performance.

That's all I know of the top of my head so I'll leave you with this.

Get the FX6300 unless you are certain you'd make use of the extra cores. The 81xx and 61xx models are using Bulldozer architecture and the 83xx and 63xx uses the Piledriver.

The 6300 is the best value for money in its price point and has great performance for what you pay.
