How good is my AMD FX- processor?

Solution
It's not to shabby in games at all, but an upgrade to a FX-8350 or 8320 will provide you with a higher fps that is worth noticing.

Here's a benchmark i had found before:

Keep in mind that it's a little bit outdated as as you will see more performance in newer games that can take advantage of more cores.
If you're looking for an upgrade, i could recommend an FX-8320 as it's on of the mose price-worth CPU's right now. Combine it with a nice GPU and you won't see any bottlenecks at all.

The 4130 is roughly equivalent to a 3220. It's not a bad CPU, but upgrading to an 8320 or 8350 would improve your FPS a good bit. I would suggest upgrading from the 650 Ti first to something like a 760 or 770 if you can afford it.

No, the i3 3220 trades blows with a 6300, the 6300 needing to be overclocked over 4ghz to win.

The 4130's intel counterpart would be a i3 2100.
