Hello everyone,
I'm building a new PC but after reading alot of threads. I'm still quite puzzled to what I should buy. ATM I have the following items below from black friday, mostly SSD and Hardrives as they were really cheap.

Now the thing is I can't decide what CPU to go with. I read that a FX8350 is basically an overclocked FX8320 and a FX9370 is an OC FX8350. With that in mind, the FX8320 which is on sale for $120 seems like a bargain. But a 9370 is only $5 more then a 8350 atm and cheaper then a i5 4670k by $40. What are the reasons why I should buy 1 of these 3 chips (8320, 9370, 4670k)???
For Memory, if I go with an Intel Haswell I should pick a dual channel set which is 2 memory slots right at 1600 mhz which is what intel supports? So there's no benefit going for 1866mhz or faster? AMD chips support up to 1866 mhz dual channel?
I'm not really familar with good motherboards with AMD chips, especially if I go with a 9370, I heard not all boards can use its high TDP, so if someone can help me there as well it'll be great.
For GPU I'm mostly going with a SLI config as I want to be prepared for GSYNC when it comes out next year compare to mantel. But I'm open to suggestions or comments
PowerSupply, I didn't pick up as I'm not quite sure as of now, but something from seasonic , corsair or XFX will be good?
If someone can give me some insight, so I can order tonight before cyber monday ends, it'll help alot
tyyyy
Edit: Right now my budget is around $1700 for the rest of the parts.
