This is my dilemma.. Asus m5a78L-USB3 and AMD FX6100 vs Intel DH61WW MB and Core i3 3220.... Which is better in gaming and everything else?
Other specs are 4gb DDR3 RAM, 500GB HDD with nvidia GT610 2gb graphics..

Is there any reason you are stuck on these cpu/motherboard combos? Also, don't expect to do any sort of gaming that is more stressing than solitaire with a GT610.

Of the two systems listed, I would go with the ASUS mobo and the FX6100. The i3 would likely seem faster and would be in some things but I would never use another one of those Intel motherboards again. I have had nothing but issues with them.

That is not exactly fair as what you posted references an FX6300 which is typically about 15% - 20% faster than the FX6100.
 


i3 3220 is way faster than fx 6100 in most games.i suggest get other mobo like gigabyte h61 d2h or b75 d3h would be best

but remember your gt 610 is crap for gaming.you need new gpu to enjoy gaming

Anything else that does a decent job at the same price range?

Price = performance.. almost correct, but correct enough. There is no 50$ video card that will do decent job. GT610 is equal to zero and it's capable of running nothing these days... acctually never been capable.

Take a look on score that it gets. And go waaaaay up to see where old 9800GT stands.

Just to compare.. 9800GT can't run a thing on playable FPS these days.
