I currently have an FX 4100 OC'ed on stock cooling to 4.0GHz. Stable, and does not overheat. I will either buy an aftermarket cooler and OC the FX 4100 more or buy an FX 8350. So, is there any advantage to having an FX 8350 other than programs that use many threads (video editing, image rendering, ect.)? The only game I play is Sims 3(very light on resources), but want it to be decent with Sims 4 when it probably comes out in 2014. I want the CPU to offer decent performance until 2015 when I will get a Skylake i5. I will upgrade my GPU to a Radeon 8850 from a GT 430 when it is released next year. If an FX 4100 OC'ed to 4.4-4.6GHz will be better than an FX 8350 at stock speeds then it makes more sense for me to save money on and just buy an aftermarket cooler.
