hi guys!
I have a question about two processors, what CPU will be better now and in the future? The Intel i5 (4440, 4460, 4590) or an FX 8320 8 Cores
My question is becuase windows 10 is coming and will have DX12, which cpu will be better with this new low-level API and the coming new games? i will use my pc for play next gen games and internet only, right now i have this pc:

CPU: Intel Pentium G3220
Mobo: MSI Global H81M-P33 (Bios v 1.7)
Memory: 8Gb Ram DDR3@1600 (Hyper Fury X)
VGA: Radeon HD 7770 1Ghz (i will replace with a new vga)
PSU: T-Code PSU 600W

Thank You!

The I5 is and will remain a better gaming processor than the FX 8320. The 8320 will see more gain from DirectX12 likely due to its higher core count than than the I5 processors but still not enough to make it better for gaming. Many games today still have high load on a single core of the processor which is why the I5's single-core performance is beneficial.

Right now my pc run ac unity at 22fps in high settings (have lag because the use of cpu is in at 100% bottleneck), nba 2k15 and fifa 15 60fps high (i have a little lag because the use of cpu is in at 100% bottleneck) how many fps will have ac unity on a i5 4590 and my hd 7770? i play at 720p!
