I7 4960X by a thousand miles, no comparison at all.
The FX9370 is essentially an overclocked 8350. Which compares to the 4670K. So as you can see, there is really no comparison.
HOWEVER neither is worth buying unless you do A HELL of a lot of professional work on it.

Read that page, it explains it well.
GHz speed is not the only thing that matters. And if you keep the 4770K cool, then it runs @ 3.9GHz.
I am guessing you want to build a gaming PC?

Sure, I'm getting a Blackops Hardwired PC (http://www.hardwiredpc.com.au/product/1-blackops)
My games: Mainly BF4, PlanetSide 2, Mercs Vs Spies and Arma 3
Budget: $1000-3000 (Note: I generally want the top of the range gaming desktops) Also for those who are wondering i am getting a "Corsair Hydro Series H100i Liquid Cooler for CPU"

Personally I would get the 4770k, with a good cooler and spend the rest of the budget on a very nice GPU setup and a 1440p monitor.
What about this for a $3000(ish) build?
