If it is to play games just for today, I would say no. But In 2013 games tax 4 cores, in 2015 it may be something else. So if you don't got lots lying around and won't be able to gather a 200 bucks in the near future...go with the 8 core processor and be safe rather than sorry

I believe the difference is only 200MHz. Most games are not bound to the CPU, but instead to the graphics card. Going from 3.0GHz to 3.2GHz is only a 6.67% increase in clockspeed.

I'd rather save the 30 quid or add it to the your graphics card budget.

Fx 8320 is 3.5 GHz from the Stock and 8350 is 4.0 Ghz so the differnece is 0.5 GHz so i just want to find out if is worth to pay 30 pound just to get that 0.5GHz more. I got a graphic card with is Msi Radon Hd 6970 2Gb lightning.

If you're going to overclock it's not worth it really, unless you just want a higher binned chip...if you're not going to overclock and you're a hardcore gamer, it may well be worth the extra 15% clockspeed to spend the money.
