Right now I'm set on buying an i5-3570k and a graphics card within the $200 range to go with it. My other option was getting an FX-8320 ($80 cheaper) and buy a $300 graphics card instead. Which option will have the better performance?

I would think the AMD option because both CPU's should be able to handle any game at this point, and the GPU is what makes the biggest noticeable difference in gameplay.

You should get the fx8320 because it is 8 core and more is better. Graphics cards are more important for bit coin mining and gaming and the fx8320 is faster than the i5 any way.i have a fx8320 in my pc. It is really good for gaming and rendering. In my opinion the best use of the fx8320 is multi tasking. If your to lazy to close windows and tabs it the perfect CPU for you. For the graphics card by the way, get a amd card. Or two. I hope you find this helpful.
