Thanks! Is the 8350 much better than 6300?

No it is not. In a recent processor lineup review THG did, for games, there was only a 2-6 fps difference between the two which was about a 3% average difference.

If you can afford it, the i5-3470. If you can't, FX-6300. You will benefit from having the i5 over the FX, from 5-25% improvement depending on the bench.
