Alright so in the last week or so I have been tossing up what to spend my money on in terms of upgrading my PC, and I have come down to two different choices. So both choices are paired with 8gb 1600MHz ram in two 4gb modules, which is what I want and it fits in the budget. However, it is the CPU/GPU that I need help with. So there is either the i3 4130 paired with a Gigabyte 750 OC 1gb, or a FX-6300 paired with a Sapphire 260X 2gb. I will just get the cheapest decent motherboard I can for either cpu, so don't worry about that. If you could recommend either of these setups, or one a mix of both, I would be very appreciative.

I will be buying a CX430, so power isn't an issue.

Thank you in advance for any help :)

No, power isn't an issue as long as you don't ever want to go too much above the GTX 750/750 Ti. Or the AMD 270.

The better gamer of the 2 choices you offer would be the FX-6300/R7-260. But the MB that the i3-4130 comes on will be upgradable to a much faster CPU if that ever becomes necessary. For instant gratification, go with the 6300/260 choice.
