I'd go with a cheap h81 mobo and the 4590, considering that you have to buy a nice mobo for the fx6300 to overclock properly and also an aftermarket cooler, prices dont differ too much.

intel is future for gaming ......get the 4590 with h81 u wont regret it. it will outperform the fx 6300 in all cases. my previous rig was amd fx 8120 and i ditched it now i am using intel core i7 4790k its awesome. For gaming i5 is more than enough the reason i took the i7 is my most of work is photoshop related and editing purpose.

Get the i5 4590. I suggest you to get a H81 MoBo from Asus, but this is personal preference. :) 

Motherboard does not matter to gaming. It matters for connectivity and overclocking.

Also, if you are on the US and want to save money, you can get this.

Saves you 19$, drops 200mhz frequency. It may be better to get 4590 because of higher frequency(200mhz) and higher turbo (400mhz). Also its newerer, which is always better. Also I heard Haswell Refresh has better thermal material so run cooler. Enough reasons to get 4590. :D
