Yes! Get a FX 8320. Best FX for the money. It would be a HUGE upgrade over your FX 6200(which is obviously your system bottleneck)

Well, a lot of the answer will depend on what you do with your Pc. The fx8320 isn't a bad option either because of how much less it costs than the fx8350. With that cooling you should be able to overclock either one fairly high and you'll have a good set-up for the money spent.

Well is it worth the extra $25 to get the 8350? not the 8320? I am playing Rome total war 2, Crysis 3, and Battlefield 4. Those are my big games I am playing right now. Lets say if the price wasn't a problem is it a big differences going for 9370 VS the 8320 or 8350?

If the price was 25 dollars, I'd buy the fx8350. Last time I looked though, it's about 60 dollars difference however. I'd skip the 93xx series though because of the price difference.

Where is the 8350 only $25 more then the 8320? It's usually around $50 more. If money is no object, I would get the 8350 even over the 9370 or 9590. Since money is almost always an object, I would get the 8320.

Newegg.ca FX8350 is $194.99 and the FX8320 $160 but since NCIX.com price matches, I also get a discount since I have a membership card which I won for free, and free for two years, I got $15 coupon.

The 9370 is only a little better than the 8350 yet it consumes almost twice the power, and runs hotter. You could overclock the 8350 to match the 9370's performance pretty easily.

The 9370 is really a OCed 8350. It uses a lot more power. Skip it, it will request more pampering.
Here is the 8320 with a promo code for $140. Really the best big for the buck, and OCs very well.

Do you presently have your FX 6200 OCed? If not give it a try to hold you over until either the 8320 or 8350 go on sales in Canada.
All your components are good and you have a nice build. Adding the 8320 or 8530 will balance your rig nicely.
