The one with the FX 6300 is best if you're gonna be gaming.

If you can manage the budget, I would definitely add an SSD and install your OS to it and then install your games and other apps on the 1TB.
Example of a good SSD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147247

If your budget is pretty set in stone, you might be able to get away with ditching the 1TB for a 120GB SSD. You'll only be able to pull this off if you know for sure that all your games, files and OS will be under 120GB.

If you must have the extra storage space and don't mind too much about load times, just go with the 1TB.

What about the r7 250? Would that help me in my gaming with the 6300?

For staying within your budget, definitely get a R7 250X with 1GB GDDR5 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121853) and not the a regular 250. It will be able to run CSGO maxed out and for more graphic intensive games like Battlefield 4 at 1080p, you will have to turn the settings down to medium. If that doesn't fly with you, take a look at the GTX 760 if you want to run everything higher, but it'll cost you more.

Also, if you feel comfortable installing a different heatsink on the CPU, check out this heatsink:

It is much better than the one that comes with the FX 6300 as it keeps the CPU temperatures lower. It will also give you some thermal headroom if you ever decide you want to overclock in the future for extra performance gains.

Hmmm so the r7 250x would suit me? Also what about the build with the X4 760K Processor with the GTX 750 Ti card? But if I get the 6300 would that be buying for the future so I can upgrade GPU later??

Also I plan on upgrading to a GTX 750 Ti later or GTX 660. Or even a R7 265 if it comes out. But I need to know if the R7 250X will get the job done in my games. I do play some high MMORPGs but not that high. Also games like Payday etc. Dayz I really want to try. Dead Island(Riptide series as well)
