Simply put, what cpu will be better for ALL gaming, a 6300 or 8350? I hear that each singular core in the 6300 is more powerful than each singular core in the 8350.

no the 6300 is not more powerful than an 8350 in any regard at stock clocks, and typically can't go any higher than an 8350 when overclocking. on a single core basis, clock for clock, they are the same.

I'd recommend the 8350 if you can afford it. It has one more module (which gets you one more FPU which is pretty important for gaming) and games are starting to utilize 8 cores now so yeah, the 8350 will win in newer games, and in games where having more than 3 FPUs available will be beneficial (all quad-core optimized games and up).

I don't recall seeing any benchmarks that showed the 6300 beating an 8350 (this even includes dual core optimized games). At best the 6300 was a bit behind the 8350, and more often than not, the gap is...

The 8350 is good the 6300 is ok. for the price of an 8350 you could get an i5 3570k for about the same price which is last gen ivy bridge but should you need a haswell chip an i5 will cost 200 but no overclocking as for the 6300 you could get an i3 for the same price i suggest the i3 4130 also for gaming no amd mobo will support pcie 3.0 which is latest gen for all graphics cards which is the most important peice in a pc

Don't get me wrong, the 6300 is a great cpu, and has tons of performance for its lower price. But in the scope of your question the 8350 wins hands down. If you are looking to save a bit on the cpu i'd recommend the 8320. The performance difference would be much less, and if you overclock to 4.0 then you'll be getting the same performance as an 8350
