FX-6300 or FX-8350?

[Plutz]

The processor that I currently have is an AMD A-10 5800k and I am looking to upgrade this because when I play CPU taxing games such as Arma, I get around 20-25 fps which isn't that great. So I've decided to upgrade my CPU but I can't decide between the AMD FX-6300 or the 8320 because I'm on quite a tight budget and wasn't sure whether the two extra cores would help that much in increasing my fps and whether it would be worth the extra £30.

I think the FX 6300 will still be good and it still widely used by many gamers.

The FX 8320 I think will definitely be a good investment for the extra £30, should see an FPS boost. (Also depends on graphics card)

FX 8320: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+FX-8320+Eight-Core

As you can see the 8320 has an extra 2000 CPU mark than the 6300.

I've got a radeon hd 6870, do you think I would get an fps boost with the fx 6300?
