I broke my pins on my fx6300 3.8 ghz I had to get a cpu asap so i purchase the fx 8300 now is this way faster then the six core Because the six core was a beast running my apps I was getting 150 fps+ on ultra on some of the games I play now well i see better performance with the new cpu?

Although the FX's 8 cores roughly equal an i5's 4 cores, because most games only effectively use half (or less) of those cores, an i5 is typically close to twice as fast.
