Raw performance wise, i3 is better, after OCing, FX 6 is very slightly better. For future proofing, w/o upgrades, I'd go with FX 6 due to more logical cores, but if you want to upgrade after 2-3 years, i3 is the way to go, you can always upgrade to i5 or Xeon or i7 which stump the FX line in gaming. My bet is with i3, everything kept in mind, unless you want those 2-5 extra FPS with FX 6 (after OCing).

How is it slightly better? I'm not talking about customer reviews, check up some benchmarks, some real world scenarios, AM3+ platform is almost dead, FX is 95W TDP, i3 is 54W, FX has 2 cores in a single module, i3 has one core per module, Intel has much higher FPU and single core performance, more upgradibility.

Seriously, I'm telling you to compare real world gaming benchmarks, i3 wins easily there. FX 6 may be decent on paper, but i3 wins in almost every game.
