personally I think you should get an 8350......... but if you have 1600 bucks you should consider a high end intel build. overall it will be faster.

no need for 9370, the 8320 is even the same core but not such a high clock speed. you can overclock it to get to the same levels. also a custom cooler for the cpu would be good.

everything in the above build but if you have 1600 to spend, get a 240/256gb ssd, they fill up fast
