Tom's most recent review of the best Gaming CPUs for the money put the i3 above the 6300 in performance, but it's pretty close. Being able to handle 6 threads may be more important in next year's games.

I've been looking at both of these processors for my Build, from what I see the Fx 6300 is ahead.

You can eaisly over clock it and it had the extra core's. It's pretty close, but I'm going with the Fx 6300.

There isn't a whole lot of data to compare an overclocked fx-6300 to an i3 in games, so I linked an example. Like I said, once overclocked the 6300 soars ahead of i3s.

^^At stock the the i3 beats the fx-6300 as I said. You have to buy a special aftermarket cooler to overclock it past the i3. That adds $30 to the price tag. So the fx-6300 is really $120+30=$150. The i3 sells at $130. That's a $20 difference. How much of an advantage is $20 in GPUs? quite a bit.

Depends on the games too...like BF3 multiplayer and Crysis 3 are clearly an advantage to the FX-6XXX series, as those games can use more cores, and the i3 can't keep up...

This is entirely a "what are you doing with it, cause that will determine the better option" situation.
