Hello guys so i settled out and i decided to go for fx 6300 rather some used i5 :/ 
Im going to buy a m5a78l-m lx motherboard and a brand new fx 6300 ^^
So i wanna know if i ill see huge difference in gaming from an old Core2Duo e8400@3.0ghz :p  ?
I ill still be using my gtx 560 ti 448 cuda cores and on same PSU,case hdd and other stuff :p 
Btw psu is HKC 550watt :) 
IK that this psu sucks but i have to keep using it for a while cos i ill be out of money :p

Very few games can use more than 2 cores. Be prepared to be disappointed if you see no great results.
Each E8400 core is approximately the same power as each of the FX-6300 cores. You will benefit if your game is cpu dependent and is truly multicore enabled.

Most of the time, you will be limited by your graphics card, not the cpu.

A $70 G3258 overclocked upgrade will give you twice the cpu power of the E8400
Otherwise, a i5 of some sort will be better for multithreaded games.

Great for gaming in most scenarios, just make sure you have the right cooling and a great graphics card to go with it, or it will bottleneck. Don't expect BF4 on Ultra, you'd have to grab an FX-8000 series for that, but most casual gaming will work on the 6300. If I helped you mark this as best answer so others know where to look too! :-)

"Hello guys so i settled out and i decided to go for fx 6300 rather some used i5 :/  " What?

The i5 is a significantly better CPU for gaming.

Like geofelt said, unless you are playing the latest and greatest mutli-threaded games, the E8400 you have now and the FX-6300 will perform nearly the same.

Get an i3 or i5 for better performance, as well as upgrade-ability and power consumption. The motherboards can be bought for cheaper than AMD motherboards, so an i5 is a more budget friendly choice than you think it is.

Hope that helps :)

The fps difference between a C2D, Pentium G, i3, i5 and FX will be MINIMAL.
Save your money for a graphic card. It is what matters.

Iv got 1 choice to get this cpu :
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Ivy-Bridge-Core-i5-3550-3...
It is used :/  but its an i5 :p  BUT another problem is that lga 1155 isnt supported anymore from intel :( 
CPU i would love to have is the i5-4570 :/  but only the cpu costs like fx 6300 + motherboard
