You don't have the best overclocking motherboard; 2.6GHz for an E6320 is good. Why not install an E8400 and overclock it? They can be bought for $25 and they are much faster than the E6320.

Not all CPUs will overclock the same, and you already got a huge overclock on the thing, it's only a 1.86 gig CPU to begin with.

Why upgrade to such an old platform? You did not even get an "upgrade", the Athlon II 220 is actually a faster CPU

Why the old FX-6100 instead of the better FX-6300? Because you get a great deal on it? Unless you are limited to a micro-ATX motherboard, that motherboard is not a good choice. Will you buy a DDR3 memory kit (2x4GB)? Your old motherboard uses DDR2 memory.

You "may" get $100 for your old motherboard and CPU, but since newer systems are close to that price, that is probably the top price you will be able to find. Keep in mind that unless it's a super bargain, anyone that is looking to get a CPU and motherboard knows what they are doing and would rather get a new setup for a bit more. You may be able to sell your old mobo and CPU for $60 pretty quick, anything over that will be a tough sell.

FX 6300 is a better pick than the 6100.

You can run any games with an FX 6300 and a 650 Ti, at last on about medium settings, maybe some you would want on lower to get to smooth play rates.
