Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40GHz 2,976
AMD FX-6100 Six-Core 5,398
Intel Core i7-2600 @ 3.40GHz 8,432
The FX-6100 rates highly in the "Best Value" chart,
so you have done a good job of selecting a CPU.
This chart relates "passmarks" to "dollars" and
helps identify processors which give the best value
for the money. You still need to determine though,
whether the processor has a high enough Passmark figure
for it to fit your requirements. A low end processor
can have a high value for this metric, and not be
worth buying. But if 5,398 Passmarks is enough performance
(64% of the 2600 performance), then it's a good value.
The FX-6100 is 1.81x the speed of the Q6600. so the
difference isn't that large.

The FX-8350 has a relatively high Passmark
AMD FX-8350 Eight-Core 9,289
but in the value chart, is a bit lower
Value for the dollar
AMD FX-8350 Eight-Core 42.22
AMD FX-6100 Six-Core 51.41
Which means, if you were to buy the 8350, you get a higher
overall Passmark, but you also pay proportionally more
dollars per passmark for it.
The 8350 is also in the chart here.

If I shop for these alternatives, and get a price off Newegg for them:
Intel Core i7-3770K @ 3.50GHz 9,634 passmark, $320
AMD FX-8350 Eight-Core 9,289 passmark, $220
So there is still some value in it, compared to the
best Intel for the average desktop user. While the
Intel Core i7-3930K has an even higher Passmark, in
practice it's not as well balanced as 3770K, and the
3770K is a better buy. And the 8350 is giving much
the same performance. Where the 3770K wins, is when
you overclock it.
HTH,
