Going from 6300 to 8320 won't make any sense unless it is 8350 which is being upgraded to. Price over performance is very good for 6300 but not that for later CPUs. Check the benchmarks for Oced 6300 and compare it with 8320 and 8350, you will find the answer.

Yes. I won't risk the OC with stock cooler. I will upgrade the CPU cooler in the future

8320 would make a difference especially in online multi player and why not the 8320 when someone wants to overclock.

In fact it would be my recommendation to hold for the 8320+280x to have the best performance for the games of the next few years.
