Hello, I am on my final decision whether or not I should get those CPUs. Which CPU performs better?

I am willing to play GTA V on the best settings possible, but still maintaining 50-60fps.
I will also play BF4, Minecraft, CSGO, etc.

Keep in mind. I will NOT OVERCLOCK. DO NOT TALK ABOUT OVERCLOCK. <3

I will also be recording/livestreaming.
I will tend to use Shadowplay so my FPS won't change at all.

GPU: GTX 960

Which processor will perform the best?

i3 4170
2 Cores
HT
3.7 GHz

vs

FX 6350
6 Cores
3.9-4.2 Turbo

You have no idea what you are talking about.

Any game that uses 4 threads, will use the 4 threads on an i3 just like it would on a quad core i5. I had an i3 in my HTPC, and tons of games would use all 4 threads.
