Well, a tower can last at least 5 years while a CPU is hard to futureproof. The FX-6300 is not much slower than the fastest AMD has to offer, and it's easy to overclock. And honestly, the FX-6300 or FX-8350 works just as well as any Intel CPU in all normal home PC scenarios, the difference is marginal. The performance overhead from strong CPUs simply has no use today unless you run a server or run lots of compression tasks or something.
I'm betting on AMD releasing new high end CPUs in the future so I can upgrade. There's talk they might leave the high-end market and only do APUs and budget CPUs but I'm still hoping.
