1300x should run games like GTA V fine. I wouldn't buy the 8310, as it has no upgrade path, appaling IPC and shares 1 FPU per 2 cores, which can limit it to 4 core performance.
I didn't clarify sorry, I currently have the 8310 and am thinking of getting the 1300x. So what I am getting is that there is a good advantage the 1300x has over the 8310?
Speeeeeeeeeeeeed
You're getting a much improved core/processor design as a whole that is actually relevant to modern Intel offerings and speed. It will keep up with just about any game released now and in the last few years w/o bottlenecking a high-end GPU.

Save another $75-$100, and jump to R5-1500 or 1600, so you are not 'thread short' for new games one is ear from now...
I would say either go for the 1200 or 1600, as they offer the best value (they can almost always be overclocked just as well as their "x" counterparts)
