The fx6300 is closest to the intel i3-4130. Comparison: (http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/351/AMD_FX-Series_FX-6300_vs_Intel_Core_i3_i3-4130.html) So the any i5 will blow this CPU out of the water for example the i5-4430. Comparison: (http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/358/AMD_FX-Series_FX-6300_vs_Intel_Core_i5_i5-4430.html).

Yes it can. The 6300 when overclocked can handle mostly everything.

Yes both CPUs will be able to handle BF4. The i5 will perform better than the fx 6300 and the i3.

If you decide to OC (overclock) please buy an aftermarket HeatSink the 6300 is aleady a hot cpu, much less without an overclock
 


HOW CAN YOU SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THE PROCESSOR WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT CARD HE HAVE AND WHAT RESOLUTION HE WILL BE GAMING AT THE LOWER THE RESOLUTION THE MORE BOTTLENECK HE WILL GET WITH A HIGHER CARD WITH FX 6300.

ok i have decided i will be buying MSI H97 GAMING 3 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard. so a hundred dollar is left on my pocket. does i3 good enough to outpower the fx6300 and play the stunning bf4
 


I3-4160 is a great choice and will outperform the fx in gaming.

what is multi-threaded programs, do i need it in gaming. apparently fx 6300 is a 6 core processor and i3 has 2.
does it matter. http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/354/AMD_FX-Series_FX-6300_vs_Intel_Core_i3_i3-4160.html
if i overclock fx 6300 can it overcome 15 processors (take note kraken x61 is on my shoulder)
 
cpu is split into cores so one core is used in single thread in multi thread it uses more cores. now intel single core performance is considerably better than amd. now the i3 has a feature called hyper threading which lets it use each core to do two threads at once making it act liker a four core. intel is almost always better in gaming.
