4770K will be best. Don't even consider the 9xxx AMD chips, as they're just binned 83xx chips.

Main Rig: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X | RAM: 32GB (2x16GB) KLEVV CRAS XR RGB DDR4-3600 | Motherboard: Gigabyte B550I AORUS PRO AX | Storage: 512GB SKHynix PC401, 1TB Samsung 970 EVO Plus, 2x Micron 1100 256GB SATA SSDs | GPU: EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra 10GB | Cooling: ThermalTake Floe 280mm w/ be quiet!

I recommend none of the above really.
The FX 9370 is just a higher clocked FX 8350/8320, it's not a good value unless you find it on sale.
The i7 4770K isn't a good value either compared to the 4670K, it's the exact same chip with hyper-threading enabled.
The performance gains from hyper-threading are not consistent and range from 20% performance uplift to actually reducing overall performance.

Get an FX 8320 instead, paired with a good cooler you can take it beyond the FX 9370 clocks, you can often find it for $150 or less. It's frankly an unbeatable chip in terms of performance/cost.
Convert your savings into a more powerful graphics.

In terms of video editing, transcoding, rendering and compression the AMD 8 core chips are usually as fast as the 4770K and sometimes slightly behind, they're consistently faster than the 4670K.
In recent games like BF4 & Crysis 3 the 8 core AMD chips trade blows with the i5 4670K but are generally on equal footing.

My build : Glamor Shot.  Intel & AMD, Architectural Discussion.

The 9370 with the included 120mm AIO is a good deal though, Costs roughly the same as an 8350 plus a 120mm AIO and you also get a guaranteed OC.

It is, although it gets confusing quickly with some retailers like Amazon selling 9370 chips without any cooling and pricing them exactly the same as 9370s with liquid coolers.

Really depends on your budget OP, The 9370 is better than the 4670k, But the i7 stomps all over the AMD chips

The 9370 with the included 120mm AIO is a good deal though, Costs roughly the same as an 8350 plus a 120mm AIO and you also get a guaranteed OC.

im buying a h100i anyway

the only thing that was holding me back from getting amd is that i cant find a motherboard i like on it

Some quick googling landed me this : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113352

The FX 9370 is on a deal right now on newegg, it comes with a double thickness 120 rad (H80i equivalent) for $220.

You can grab the same chip for $200 without cooling, which is still a good deal but not nearly as good.

The only game at the moment capable of leveraging an 8 core FX chip is about to get an update that makes 8 core FX chips irrelevant... just cute little paradigm for you to stew over.

I'd be interested in any links to benchmarks that illustrate this, especially the i7 performing worse than an i5 bit.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

No actually it's quite the opposite, by removing the rendering CPU bottleneck they can actually fill the cores with useful gameplay, physics & graphics workloads.

Sent you a PM, don't want to derail the thread.

What are you trying to prove? Nobody said that SB can't OC.

is 8350 better than i7?

Depends on what is meant by better.

put it together and see which is better ( no budget) : ===============> benchmarks?
