The FX is simply for those who want to spend massive amounts of money to have the absolute best. It's a waste, yes, but you will have power than no other Athlon 64 can give (except the 3800+, but it's really expensive as well).
The Athlon 64 3200+ is an incredibly fast processor. Combined with an X800 Pro it would be insanely good for gaming. Don't get the step below, however...the Athlon 64 3000+ doesn't have as much L2 cache.
