Phenom II X4's still perform better than the FX4100.

Are you upgrading now? If so, I would suggest waiting a month or so, new FX CPU's are on the verge of release that should perform better than those two options you listed.

Planning on building a gaming pc in next few months, only thing with the new fx cpu coming out is will it support any motherboard like asus sabertooth 990fx and will it be all bios ready? I will probably go for phenom x4 965 BE.
 
It will probably require a BIOS update, not too sure. However, I think ASUS is planning a new motherboard for the AMD line up.

And since you're purchasing in the next few months, it would be best to wait to see what manufacturers bring IMO.
