I was looking at AMD FX 8 core cpu's and was wondering if they are better than my quad core i5 4570. Are the AMD CPU's a better bang for the buck?

What makes the intel CPU better for gaming is that the individual cores are stronger than AMD's. 99.99% of games use 4 or fewer cores.
In Crysis 3, which can use 8 threads, you see the 8350 slightly outpacing the 3570k. However, I don't recommend an 8 core chip for a gaming system. While games in the future will use more cores, the fact is that determining whether enough will use 6-8 cores for the chips to be competitive with the I5's is nothing more than a guess.
Also, there's a strong likelihood that by the time enough games do, both platforms will be obsolete.
