It's better balanced and overall better for games, Intel CPUs are generally better for gaming but are quite expensive in comparison

It's 2am here right now haha

I'll leave you with this, consider adding an aftermarket cooler like the 212 EVO if you can fit it within your budget

Haha had to go to sleep, you could still swap out the 6300 and that board for an i4 4430 and a fairly cheap compatible mobo and it won't go over budget too much as well
