Tech Spot have published an article looking at which CPU on the market gives the best value, out of AMD FX-8320E, Intel Core i3-4360, Core i3-6100, and Core i5-4430. Here's their article description:

The FX-8320E has been AMD's go-to option for budget quad-core computing without integrated graphics for a few months now. But the landscape has shifted on Intel's side with the arrival of its new Skylake-based Core i3 and Pentium processors. After being disappointed in August by the marginal performance between Skylake and Haswell Core i7s, we're interested in seeing how the i3-6100 stacks up against the older i3-4360, as well as the i5-4430 and the overclocked FX-8320E.

A timely thread for me as I'll shortly be putting together a build for a friend whose main interest is recording music, he's not a gamer. Just the info I needed.
