At the moment i have a Athlon X3 455, and i wanted to know which one is better for gaming the FX 6200 or the Phenom x4 965? and is it worth upgrading from my current CPU?

The Phenom is better than the FX at gaming but neither of them are a big upgrade from your current CPU.I suggest you buy a cooler and overclock your Athlon.

Ok, or would it be better is i buy the Phenom x4 965 and overclock that? becuase i have heard the Phenoms are faster than Athlons.

Best thing to do is wait a month; Piledriver (FX 43xx or A10 5800K) will be out by then and will have much better performance.
