right now im trying to buy a PC I'm getting the GTX 560(my friend is giving me the graphics card) but im later getting the gtx 950. I'm gonna play games like Planetside 2 and Fallout 4, and im stuck between these three CPU's because of the number of cores in the processer's and the price difference between the x4 and the fx 6300 and the i3. So please help me P.S I plan to overclock if possible

i3 won't overclock but has the best single thread performance. However, the 560/950 are entry cards, so regardless of what cpu, you'll get the same fps because the gpu will be the bottleneck.

Thus, if you have plans for the 950 already, then get the cheaper cpu. The 6300 is good one for about 90 USD

I would go with the fx 6300 , I have one myself and it would be good when paired with the 950, overclocki better then the others and has 6 cores over a dual core which struggles more and can't launch some new games. I have mine at 4.4 ghz and running stable at low temps .
