For a budget gaming rig you are good to go with the 6300
You can try with the 6350 if the price is ok also.
The difference between the 8350 and 6350 for gaming is not much since most game don't use more than 2/4 cores.

yeah... but thers a big problem, FX procesors share L2 cache each 2 cores in what they say is a module... as far as i know for games uses an entire module like a core... so the FX6xxx has the performance of a tricore processor at best the, same happends with the inter HT tech... you will have this computer for a long time so the choice is yours
Not entirely true there. Yes, AMD have "modules" instead of "cores", but this does not means they are effectively tri core processors. They are different yes, but do still have 6 physical cores (whether they share resources or not). You shouldn't really try to compare today's architectures with cores anyway (or GHz or even IPCs). It's the end results, benchmarks and prices you should be looking at. Then you could take in to account future upgrades etc.
Let's not have an AMD module/core battle. Look at the performance of the chip without bringing up the module/core thing.
@OP, so this is a gaming build. What are you upgrading from? Or is this an entirely new build? Lots of people use the FX-6300 for all sorts of games and have no trouble with it. They often find the GPU is the bottleneck in their system. If you can, get the best CPU you can now and worry about an amazing GPU later if you plan to upgrade regularly (like once every 1 - 2 years) because the current trend with CPU's is you need a new mobo socket to get the next tier CPU (more common with Intel than AMD though). This way, your CPU won't be an (expensive to replace) bottleneck for a while and you can just worry about simple GPU upgrades here and there.
