Please suggest me that which one is better Fx6300 vs i3 4150......i always use AMD processors.....This time I want to try with intel but tell me is it better to pay for dual core(i3 4150) instead of six core (fx6300).also tell me which motherboard is good for these.My mobo Budget is 13k

Intel Core i3 4150 - 2 Physical Cores + 2 HT Cores
AMD FX 6300 - 6 Physical Cores

You decide for yourself buddy but my choice will be
AMD FX 6300 -7500,
Gigabyte 970A-DS3P -5900.

got the same config @ 7163(amf fx-snapdeal) + 5805(Gigabyte 970A-DS3P-flipkart)

It's not that one processor is better than other processor. It depends on the use case. What are you going to use the PC for? Keep in mind that FX 6300 requires a discreet graphic card to be used as it does not have an IGP.

^^+1 to that. @ Op - if gaming is your main purpose and you're not an ocer then get the i3 4130. Also you will get lower power consumption as an added benefit.

What's more future proof ? Intel i5 4440 or FX 6300. I know that it's 4 core vs 6 cores. But also include hyperthreading in the equation.

easily the i5 4440, better upgrade path + much better raw performance

I5 4440 doesn't have hyper threading, but if you are talking about i3's hyper threading than a physical core is always better than a Perceived one, so my suggestion is this -

for gaming exclusively
I5>i3>fx 6300

generally uses + future proofing
I5>fx6300> i3

Between i3-4150 and FX-6300, I'll suggest FX-6300.
