There are some games out there that won't even start up unless you have a four core cpu. Oops, Johan beat me to it.

I think my 860K at 4.4 GHz is every bit as fast as my 6300 at 4.7 GHz. For that matter my 8320 at 4.6 GHz. Granted my workloads aren't anything like RGone's encoding etc.... I like the fact that that I need less cooling, have a more up to date chipset. To each his own I guess. I would stay away from the Intel two core cpu without hyperthreading.

Makes me wonder if I should have gone FM2+ and the best APU I could buy and overclock it like mad...

Intel i3 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8526347&CatId=11860 vs FX-8310 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=9494388&CatId=11857
I believe the FX-8310 runs in mATX boards. Not too bad on the VRM at stock, leave green on.... 760G handle it just fine. I'd look for an Asus 760G chipset board, but that's me.

Not sure about core vs core here. I've never run an i3 dual core before. But if performance was close enough, I'd imagine 8 cores vs 2 cores would be a lot of fun.
"It can't overclock" Which is true to an extent. Find and know the limits, find and know your cooling capabilities and OC based on that.
If you need examples and help overclocking on 760G AMD chipsets, I'd gladly help.
Sorry if this is BUtt In material. Somewhat of my opinion.... FX-8310 > i3-4xxx

Keep in mind that I did find that this exists...

Its a 970 chipset mATX board...
If its a setup I'd go with, I'd be looking at the fx-6300 or 6350 really, but i3-4xxx CPUs are beginning to look more attractive.
