i5 2400 hands down.
- It's almost +50% faster in games when push comes to shove
- The frames stutter heaps less (which you can Google as 99th percentile frame time, etc.).

Yeah i know that Intel chips are better for gaming,but i5 2400 is 60$ more expensive than fx 6300,and i don't care about few fps,so i think that fx is better choce...i consider that u can OC fx 6300 alot,and it should come close in performance with i5 2400,because i5 2400 can't oc much...

The CPU alone costs +36% more and provides +43% more performance.
Once you factor in other components the systems cost difference may only be +5% more expensive (if not the same price) and still provide +43% more performance.

Last time I checked +5% more cost (overall) for +43% more performance was common sense, and why AMD's market share keeps below 30%.

How much extra do these overclocking geared AMD motherboards cost versus their standard variets?

You may end up throwing money away on a 'maybe' (the overclock) instead of a 'definite' (the Core i5-2400's performance is known up front).
