For reference, my FX-6100 can run BF3 on Ultra at stock, and with the right cooling you can hit 4.4-5GHz depending on the chip with moderate effort. The 6300 should have even more headroom.
Don't discount Phenom IIs either, they can give some i5s a run for their money on single threaded workloads, while the FX series excels at more heavily threaded loads.
Intel is the way to go for performance though, if you're willing to spend the money
