Go for the i5! It performs better in pretty much every aspect. Especially gaming. I know this is true but I can find you the proof if you'd like :)
Let me know if you have any more questions.

But on Game Debate its given that i5 4440 performs 25% worse than FX 8320
and also i5 4440 have only 4 cores but fx 8320 have 8 cores

Cores don't mean everything man. :)
I'll update this post with some real world tests & gaming results.
Also, the VS650 is a very poor quality PSU, you don't want to be skimping on that. Go for something from XFX, Seasonic or the EVGA B2 series.

I can't find all that much info, but:
