which build is better for gaming?

Solution
The first one would give you better gaming performance, but with the money savings of the FX6300 you might be able to squeeze a better GPU or a SSD in your computer, making it more well rounded than the Intel.

Yeah I kind of agree because next year i might upgrade the cpu and gpu but for the 2nd build i cant really upgrade because the 8320/8350.well i just dont feel like upgrading to a 8320/50 because it doesnt really give me an option of more cpus to choose from.do you know what i mean?
