You better off buying a Athlon 750K and this http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681... for $150

They are pretty similar in performance both at stock speeds and overclocked.
The 760k is on the fm2/fm2+ socket. The biggest thing in it's favor is the fm2 socket has the best features/price on the market. The biggest con is there isn't a very good upgrade path. Going fm2+ will allow for a Kaveri upgrade, but don't expect any hard core cpus to be released on it.
The FX 4300 is on the slowly dying AM3+ socket that currently has a pretty good upgrade path, but doesn't appear to be getting any real significant new releases. There should at least be one more refresh before it's put to bed for good though.

I already have a Radeon HD 7750 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 so I want to get something that will work well with it. Would getting a motherboard with a PCI-E 3.0 slot be worth it?It will be good for future upgrade. But first spend more on cpu as there's not much noticable difference between pci-e 2.0 and 3.0 slot.

I was going to pair the FX-4300 with a MSI 970A-G43 AM3+.

Or pair the 760K with a MSI A88XM-E45 FM2+ / FM2.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Both cpus are 90 until the the end of the week.

Consider FX 4300 and MSI 970A-G43 = $179
FX 4300 has 2x better score than Athlon II X4 760k in 3D Mark 11 Physics test .But if the budget doesnt allow , just get 760K .

So the FX-4300 with the MSI 970A-G43 is hands down the better deal? I'm also getting a new case for them, a Rosewill Galaxy-01 Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Altogether its $194.47, which is just under my budget.

Even Phenom II 965 is better than a 750k. You will want to go with an FX. I wouldn't want to go below an FX 6300.

760k isn't that great of a chip really. It is OK, but the lack of L3 cache hurts it in games. Clock for clock, a Phenom II 965 is actually faster. Other than clock speed, a 750k and 760k are identical architecture. Trinity and Richland are identical on the CPU side of things. The only difference between the two were the GPU side on the APU's.

Richland overclocks a lot better than Trinity. The 760k vs the 750k is a great example. The 6800k vs the 5800k is another. The 750k and 5800k were not very good overclockers, but the 760k and 6800k are. I can run my 6800k completely stable @ 4.7ghz x 4 with the smallest voltage bump. The 760k should be able to match that pretty easily.
Besides all that, the fm2+ motherboards have awesome standard features for the price.

Average overclock is a very insignificant amount.

That i5 4670 has BY FAR the strongest 4 cores of that group and everybody knows it. Not a good comparison at all.

Yea synthetic benchmarks are a poor tool to use for gaming performance. i trust 3D Mark 11 Physics because i ve got many tests from different sites where in games FX 8350 is on par with i5 4670 .
May be , FX 4300 is as future proof as i5 4670 but at 2x lower price and there are still people who buy i5 4670
