fx 8320 or i3 4130 ?

Solution
I would say 8320 although its a grey area and others might disagree, what is often overlooked esp in reviews is the normal guy usually has skype, live av sw, browser tabs, steam/origin etc etc open while gaming some even like to record, the 8 cores really help in these situations.

If you'll use the cores then 8320 eg have lots running, play modern games more than old games, use multithreaded sw, overclock. If you plan to upgrade the intel socket could be better, its got better single thread perf and beats fx at old games, its not black and white with a simple answer, what will you be doing with the cpu?
