Need an Intel/AMD expert!
So... my main activity is definitely gaming, I already have a GTX 970... but I also do music with FL Studio and several plugins... as I understand this counts as rendering and does benefit from multi core/thread CPUs.
FL studio FAQ points me to this list, from what I understand it is a core/thread performance chart, the kind that doesn't reflect on gaming performance .

I know that current intel CPUs are a lot better in single threaded performance, which is why they are better for current games. But what about multi core/thread on a budget?
So... I am looking at these:
CPU-------Score-----Price
FX 8370---9186----$200
FX 8350---9011----$170
FX 8320---8078----$137
i5 4690K--7776----$220
What do you think?... the 8350 sounds like the best option for performance for the buck for multi core/thread needs.
