X4 760k + 650 ti vs fx 6300+ 650 ti

Is the performance gain worth it? Games I'll be playing are Dragon age, Planetside, Skyrim, Battlefield among other games coming.

FX 6300 is better than 760K cpu. but make sure you pair it with a good quality 970 motherboard.

^agreed^ The fx 6300 is better, but the 600 series graphics cards are old, so buy a 700 series card like the 750 or the 750ti

Unfortunately those motherboards are ridiculously expensive where I live so the only compatible motherboards I can get for it are 760g.

They're expensive for a reason, they are capable of ensuring that the motherboard can handle a FX 6300. I do not recommend any 760g motherboard to use with a FX 6300 really. Their build quality is not really good for FX 6300. And most of the 970 motherboard aren't great either.
The only good one to use is:

Then I will go with the 760k then.

The FX 6300 is faster, has more cores (or modules if you want to get technical) and more importantly has L3 cache which the 760K lacks, both are overclockable but as Suztera said be sure to pair it with a good motherboard.

Hope this helps!
