I'll say it this way, IF I was building a gaming machine I would use the FX8150 and not think twice about it, and buy the family's food for the month with the savings!
980X should never even be considered for gaming when the 2500K trounces it. The 8150s price is rumored to be 229.99 so all tests should be compared against a 2500K not a 980X. Wonder if intel plans on dropping the 2500Ks price to counter Amds strategy. 189 dollar 2500K would be a hell of a bargin.
