From the look of things these seem to be really good CPU's but one is about $30.00 cheaper which is the AMD.
I don't know much about AMD but could anyone tell me the difference in power / performance of these two beasts?
I am still doing more research for a good CPU for around $150.00 will be building a mini gaming PC in a CM 130 just FYI

Best solution
for that price, the core i5 is better.
the fx 6300 is good too, but the core i5 usually hovers around $180+ territory.
edit: just searched the case. for that case, the core i5 is a better fit.
here's a mini roundup of z77 mini itx motherboards (unless you've selected one already)
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/mini-itx-z77-mother...
some of these aren't exactly budget, so keep that in mind.
there other mini itx mobos, may be anandtech, but they don't review in groups.

If you plan to overclock, you should go for the FX6300. But on the downside, FX6300 is less power efficient than the i5.
Both the CPUs are really good for their respective prices.
But, if you buy FX6300, you can save $30, which you can invest in a better GPU, which is important for gaming.

do any of you know if this would be compatible with a Mini Itx motherboard since I am planning on using it in a coolermaster elite 130. I imagine it is because from what I have read the only thing the the CM 130 needs in parts that is different from a regular mid tower or full tower is a smaller motherboard so I am assuming this CPU should fit perfect.
But I am assuming...

they are messing with me haha the price is back down to $159 -- you all saw! oh and to answer and continue on this thing I don't plan to oc only because I don't know how and I don't want to burn out the CPU especially since I don't know what I am doing with that
Haha, you're saying it now... But, you might want to do that in future.
Anyway, as de5_Roy pointed out, for the case you have, i5 3330 must be your choice.

yea I just made sense of what he said haha took me a minute....yea.... kinda slow tonight I am at work sue me! lol
I appreciate the responses guys I really do. The final question is this.... Do you think this is the best CPU for the Price range for moderate gaming and multitasking?
Sorry just trying to cover all my bases pretty much this is probably gonna be a slow build

well that's a little worry some at least to me... I know Newegg is a reputable name but I just saw their return policy on CPU's and they don't do refunds but will exchange..
the only reason I am worried about this is because I saw some comments that the CPU was DOA so I could obviously return it but has anyone had any serious issues with em?

in my opinion, yes. as long as that offer stands, and for your case.
overall, this is one of the best deals right now if you can access a microcenter:

The CPU is quite powerful. Just make sure you couple it up with a good GPU, for gaming, as GPU matters a lot in gaming.
The DOA can happen in case of any CPU. Only the person who have gone through this can comment on it.
Its performance can be compared to Sandy Bridge i5 2400, which is a great CPU. So, you can observe the i5 2400 reviews, to get an idea of its performance.

I just realized what you all were saying about a Microcenter, didn't know it was a actual place to go to haha well no, I am in Miami Fl I just checked the Link thanks for that de5_roy.
Yea I wasn't expecting to go up this high for a CPU honestly but all in all you get what you pay for and I don't want to get anything too cheap either.

oh you can go cheaper. like "amd athlon x4 750k+ a55/a75/85x/a88x mini itx motherboard" cheaper. but gaming performance will go down accordingly. but top amd apus like a10 6800k (the one with the higest clockrate) costs around $140. for $20 more, you get a cpus with superior gaming performance and lower power use because of that newegg offer.

damn you guys are really helpful ~
I don't think ill go cheaper just gonna take me like 2-3 months to get everything I want, if I think about it. Maybe less.
I definitely intend on getting a Good GPU I can research that since I know a little (well very little about GPU's) but I am kind of struggling on the Mini Itx Motherboards..... I was thinking an Asus motherboard since they make awesome hardware but I know nothing of which ones are better than others. I think ill ask another question when ready but can anyone shed a little insight on what to look for "Quick Tips" if you will about mini itx motherboards and gpu's? Price point? I don't want to build a 1000 dollar gaming rig lol I think the most I really wanna go is maybe 400 or even 500 is kinda pushing it but that all gets to be hardware, I have software, I have my mouse, keyboard and ill plug the rig into my tv with the hdmi cord so don't need a monitor.
Definitely sticking to the i5 based on everything im reading though

already posted a z77 mini itx motherboard roundup in one of my earlier posts. you might find even cheaper h61 and h77 motherboards if you look.
as for mini itx gpus... there are only two mini itx 'friendly' high end gfx card i know of, and one of them seems to be unavailable on newegg. so here's the other one:
msi gtx 760 mini $255
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
however, your case can take regular sized gfx card. check your case dimensions for clearance measurements.
$500 for cpu, mobo, case, ram, psu, gfx card is too low (if you're buying the gfx card now). the cpu and gfx card together take away over $400 from your budget.
asus p8z77i deluxe is down to $160, $130 after rebate.

Specifically been looking at this Asus mini itx motherboard for 85 bucks http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
I have seen countless build pc videos and people are saying you don't need to buy a motherboard over 50 bucks etc.... so is this like overpriced should I get something relatively cheaper?

er.. you can't mount a cpu on it. it already has a celeron cpu soldered on it. the price is for the whole cpu+ mobo. it is basically a laptop-ish motherboard for small form factor desktops.

so I have to buy a mini itx with a pre-installed CPU... sorry if its too noobish but that just seems wrong if im right.I am looking at some now but hard to make heads or tails out of em
There are plenty of mITX motherboards that don't have a CPU soldered in, just a socket where you can install whatever CPU you buy (provided it uses the same socket of course).
You're in the "embedded solutions" part of Newegg's motherboard selection. You should go back to motherboards and select Intel motherboards, then pick Socket LGA 1155 and Form Factor Mini ITX.

thanks for that Sakkura much appreciated
yea.... now im cooking with gas lol looking at some interesting motherboards now.... gonna post my top two lol well later I am working after all.
Its dead at work tonight though (hotel) so I do Appreciate EVERYTHING you guys have helped me with, I would like to point out that I don't know much about hardware - general knowledge I guess as good as anyone else if you haven't researched the stuff or tried learning but over the past couple weeks I have learned quite a bit.... and still needing to learn so thanks again.
Ill post them up in a bit
