Is your budget $600 for the entire PC or just CPU+Mobo+Ram? If the budget is for the entire PC, then ya, the AMD processor makes sense.

i5 2500K beats out the FX 8320 in gaming.
They're about neck to neck when it comes regular application processing (photoshop, zip files, etc)

you can get a 6300 or an older 6120; they will both be amazing for office work; I'd stick with the 6 cores; but it is possible that the fx 4xxx cpus might also be fine.

No. The only significant step up for you is the 2011 platform. You can google h.264 encoding benchmarks or look at passmark, which will give you a ballpark comparison of multi-threaded performance.

I prefer instructions per clock cycle over Ghz... Why do you think we went backwards in the Ghz department? I'll never understand why people think more Ghz = faster / better processor.

I'm debating this and 8350...Seems this need an extra voltage (thus more temp) to achieve similar OC. Also, 8320 does not clock as high as 8350.
