My rig is basically just for playing games. I'm looking forward to upgrade it. So should I buy FX 4300 (4cores and 3.8ghz) or should I buy FX 6300 (6cores and 3.5ghz)

I am going to play most of the upcoming games like witcher 3 and batman arkham knight.

For $10 the 6300 gives you 2 more cores and 6MB of cache vs 4MB. I think the extra $ is worth. I have a 6300 in one of my builds and have had zero issues with it. Running smoothly at 3.8 and 6 cores.
