Do you mean i3 6100?
I think you're confusing 6500k with 6600k
For multitasking, FX 6300 beats the i3 6100 because of extra cores.

There is no i5 6100, only i3 6100
There is no i5 6500k, only i5 6600k
Performance:
i3 6100 < FX6300 < i5 6400/6500 < i5 6600k
"I'll get the motherboard later " <-- this means that the processor will sleep tight inside your drawer. You can not mix-match mobo and proc with different sockets.

Multitasking is a user's activity the user has to actively tell the CPU what to do and which programs to favor...
If you run a video converter that uses a high priority (so that it can claim to be faster that all the competition) then the i3 will start to lag only with that one prog and so will the fx-6300 because a converter can use all available cores.
If you put the priority of the converter to low you will be able to run anything else without noticing any slowdowns.
If you run 4 programs and they all just use one thread then the i3 will be faster without lagging,if they use more threads then it all depends on how well behaved the programs are.

It all depends on the programs you're running and the tasks those programs will be doing. For example, Adobe Premiere will use as many CPU threads as it can when it comes to encoding a video, but it won't use all those threads when you're simply navigating menus and options.
What specific programs are you running and what will they be doing?

For light to normal content creation e.g. music, video transcoding, video/photo editing, rendering, etc., an i5 is your best pick.
I3 has only 2 physicla cores with HT, this is not as good as I5 with it's 4 physical cores.
FX6xxx and FX8xxx can handle more threads than those I3 but the single core performace is pathetic.
AMD FXs are also very energy inefficient.
For serious professionals, I would recommend an E3-1230V5 or i7 6700k or higher depending on your budget and need.
But for your case, I think an I5 6500 should be sufficient. No need to go further than i5 6600k/E3-1230V5, unless you are doing such serious stuffs commercially.
