Would an overclocked i5 not beat an overclocked 8320? Bear in mind this is for gaming.

Yes. But you were not overclocking... which is half the reason why I got berated!!!!

Both overclocked, it'd depend on the game. In some recent ones the 8320 would be ahead. Most of the time it'd be over 60fps either way anyway, which makes no difference unless you're M&M.

But you're looking at a huge amount over budget if you go with the 4670K.

Think I'm going to get this and just use the money saved to spend more on the graphics card I buy when GTA V comes out for PC.

Using your old card will do if you can upgrade in a month or so? You could add a new cooler as well.
