In gaming, the graphics card is always more important than the CPU. The 8320 is better, but if you have to choose between a better CPU or a better GPU, get the better GPU. The performance between the 6300 and the 8320 isn't enough to justify going with a lesser quality graphics card.

Hi - The 8320 is a tier 1 AMD gaming CPU on Tom's Hardware gaming hierarchy, the 6300 is a
tier 2. Generally, a difference in 1 tier isn't significant (and the chart is not a definitive reference),
but if it were me and I could afford the better CPU, that's the way I'd go.

Your game play will be more dependent on the GPU(which you didn't list) than the CPU. So, if the
price difference between the 6300 & 8320 is such that by going to the 6300 would allow you to step
up on your GPU, that's the way to go.
