For gaming, you can get the FX-6350, or 8350 if you have more money. But the difference will be little compared to the 6350 that already has 6 cores..
For gaming actually a 4350/6300 will be enough.

I would say once you hit $200 really.

The 8350 is as good as any i5, especially depending upon the game/task.

The 6350 is similar to an i5 for FAR less money...

The 6300 is better than any i3 for the same/more money.

The FX 4300/4350 is typically about i3 performance in games and better in productivity for less money.

Where you are right is the $200-250+ CPUs. (Which I would argue not to spend the money on anyway...though some will)

For gaming, I'd go with either a 6300 or an 8320. Both will perform extremely well in-game and should outlast any equivalent Intel CPU.

But, to answer your question, you shouldn't have any issues.
