Which would do best in modern games?
Would the fx 8350 get hot when on high load compared to the other CPUs?


I tend to play BF3/BF4/DayZ/TF2/Saints Row 3/GTA 5 when it comes out on PC.


Which CPU would I get the best performance with?



Thanks!
Dan.

If you wanted the best CPU then i5-3570k is the obvious choice. If you wanted maximum value then FX8350 is what you go with. I suggest you to go with i5-3570K if your budget allows so, for an all rounder efficient performer.
 


Actually, the best value is the fx-8320. It is $90 less than a 3570k and $60 less than a 8350. If you had an extra $60 or $90 to spend on a GPU for the fx-8320 it would easily beat the other CPU systems in gaming. That's why I recommend the 8320 on a budget but the 3570k if money doesn't really matter.
CPU: AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 8-Core Processor ($129.99 @ Amazon)
CPU: AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor ($189.99 @ TigerDirect)
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($219.96 @ SuperBiiz)
