Viking2121 :
The FX 6200 isn't bad, I'd overclock it though, I recently went from a FX 8320 at 5ghz to a i7 3770s at 4.2ghz and in some games it was a night and day difference. But I am also running 2 higher end cards, a single card should be ok on the FX 6200, though I would upgrade the GPU 1st then the CPU to an i5 or i7 or wait it out for Zen.
Personally I'd save up for a skylake i5 or i7 and a DDR4 platform and it will last ya a long time.
I'd go for Zen only if the savings are fairly significant on the CPU. However, a couple of caveats:
1) Avoid motherboards, if possible, until that model has had several BIOS upgrades. Ideally at least three months, and
2) AMD isn't known to have the same level of driver support as Intel. It's probably not significant for the CPU but it's hard to say. Even Intel gets issues like errata bugs etc that need to be sorted out with drivers for Windows/Linux, and firmware updates to the motherboard BIOS.
I'm not too worried about these being fixed, though I wouldn't want to be an early adopter.
3) Performance difference?
All we know now is the "40% IPC" value which suggests to me it's less than Haswell, but then a cheaper, overclockable CPU could really make a huge difference.
Summary:
I'd say basically if the motherboard cost is similar, then I'd go with Intel unless the AMD cost is 75% or less for the CPU. For example, a SIMILAR CPU (after overclock) costs $150 for AMD but $200 for Intel maybe that $50 saved is worth it.
*And, for other people an APU path might make sense if they can't afford a dedicated GPU right away but that's a complicated value proposition as you have to ensure the DDR4 memory is fast enough to minimize GPU bottleneck etc.
There is strong evidence that a Zen/Polaris top-end APU might be a pretty awesome budget gaming system. For example, similar to an i5-4690 on the CPU side and GTX960 on the GPU side?
(And the iGPU might even get used in ADDITION to the dGPU for future DX12 games. For example, if you got a dGPU that is 2X more powerful you might see up to 50% higher frame rates in theory though these things never scale perfectly. A test was done already with an intel iGPU and dedicated NVidia card so it does work.)
