I have one simple questions. Currently, I have a AMD A8-5600k Quad-Core 3.6GHZ CPU. I want to upgrade, because it's bottlenecking my entire computer. So my simple question is:

Which processor is better for gaming?
The Intel Core i5-3570k 3.4GHZ Quad-Core
or
The AMD FX-8350 Vishera 4.0GHZ Eight-Core

Those are the two I am considering upgrading to. Any response would be helpful.

I'm kind of new to this whole computer building thing. Why exactly is a CPU that has less GHZ (3.6GHZ) and less cores (4 rather than 8) better. I'm not questioning you, but I need an explanation, it's confusing me :p

The i5 is $234.99 and the FX is $199.99 at my local Canada Computers store. What are your sources?
