I would like to know which CPU is better for my mid to low end gaming build. Thanks.

More about : 4130 6300 760k clock

760K since no overclock. It is stock 4.1GHz Turbo. 4 cores is usually enough.

Well you should know that by buying an x4 760k you have no possibility to upgrade to someting better if one day you see that the CPU is not enough for what you're using it, and with a i3 you always have the possibility to update to a better i5 without changing the Motherboard.
At what resolution will you be playing, and also wich graphics card were you thinking to get? Do you already have the PC or you are building one from the start?

Carrizo is coming to FM2+. And there is also Kaveri. AM3+ is the dead-end socket.

I totally agree AM3+ is EOL, it has been said by AMD, btw i didn't mention it. But FM2+ CPU's are just not powerful in general speak when compared to anything, they have indeed great APU's and greater ones to come, and that's why I asked him if he was building it from 0 and at what res. he will play to recommend him a APU instead of 760K + dedicated GPU :) 
But I personally wouldn't be comfortable with going for a FM2+ because it has no serious performing CPUs.

Is that opinion formed from your own experience or just a random assumption?

It is based on the, lets say 50 CPU benchmarks that i could have seen in the past two weeks because im looking to buy a CPU + MB to hold next gen games and I've seen like in most of the new games, especially in multiplayer, none of the solutions that FM2+ socket offers is solid enough to hold the next gen titles in CPU perfomance. It can be just about "fine" to play some games, but in others it will cause perfomance issues no matter what GPU you throw at it. By the way I dont have any personal experience with it and I could be mistaken, of course, but based on the benchmarks I've seen it can be good for moderate gaming on some titles, but in CPU intensive and next-gen titles it will be struggling to get you those solid 60fps we all want.

I don't know man, my 4.5GHz 760K pushes 60FPS in Skyrim and BF3. I don't think you can ask for more from an $80 CPU. I've yet to be outscored by a pentium or i3 in 3dmark (from looking at the Futuremark database).

No overclock, the i3 4130/4150.

I've read that skyrim was complicated title for AMD CPU's, its great that you get that results, and as you say it is great and can't ask more for $80. By the way that's not the kind of games I was talking about, I was talking about Watchdogs, upcoming GTA V...

I may be wrong and that 760k will be great for next-gen gaming, in that case I dont understand why people spends more than 150$ on a i5 or 130 in a fx8350 + a $90 MB to overclock it if a 760K gets you 60fps. Honestly I dont think so. In some games like those you have stated it can be, but in future upcoming games I dont really know and most likely I wont risk myself buying a FM2+ rig.

I wish I could say damn you are totally right and then I'd go to buy a 760k and I'm not being sarcastic whatsoever, I really wish I could do it and be quiet about the fact that maybe in a year games that I would like to play wont perform as I want because I went cheap on the CPU.

Just my 2 cents.

I have to agree with this for the OP's sake. If you are on a budget, you have that i3 option, that is in my opinion the better option if you look to upgrade the CPU in a year or two from now, or you have the FM2+ option if you are on a
really tight budget as you could buy an APU wich its got the Graphics Card integrated and cut the cost of a dedicated one, and you would also have the option of upgrade to a better APU when something new comes out, what it seems is going to happen.
