What would work better? Amd x6 fx-6300 with a nvidia gtx 960 4gb, or a amd x8 fx-8320 with a nvidia gtx 950 2gb?
 
Solution
I would go with the FX 6 core and the GTX 960 as the GPU is more expensive and the FX chips are only getting less expensive.

You'll find that that are games coming out now that recommend the 8 cores:

But going there only takes $130, less after after unloading the 6 core, and you'd rather SLI a 960 someday to squeeze more life out of it (especially with 4Gb vRAM)....

The better GPU always wins. That being said, you could end up bottlenecking the CPU with the 6300. I would mix them and go with the 8320 and the GTX 960. Then again, I would go with an i5 and 970 or higher, but that wasn't your question. :)
