Which would perform better in gaming?
I wouldn't overclock the i7, but I would get an air cooler (be quiet Dark Rock 3) for the 8350 and overclock it. Would the i7 still perform better than 8350 overclocked?

I built 2 rigs, one with FX 6300 overclocked to 4.2GHz and one with i5 4460 non overclocked. They performed almost the same. Tested with some benchmarks.

The OC'd 8350 (at like 4.4-4.6Ghz) will most likely beat the I7 at stock in most categories except single core performance which matters less and less. I get a passmark CPU bench of over 10,000 on my 8350 at 4.4Ghz, which is higher than the vast majority of I7's in OVERALL performance. Games will probably still be 3-5% higher FPS on the I7's though, depending on the GPU of course.
