i5-4690K hands down. Runs a lot cooler (84W versus 220W) for one, can overclock more, and overall better performance.

Go for the i5. The FX-9370 is a hot mess. 220W TDP? No thanks. Go for the i5, you won't be disappointed! :)

Only go for the FX-9370 if the heating system in your room is broken. That CPU could heat up a warehouse.

i5
cuz amd sux
***JOKE***
I prefer i5 and it is true that a better single threaded cpu is stronger in games, i5 is ideal for gaming and it consumes less power, but its not alot cooler than AMD's chips

I say the i5 is a lot cooler since AMD recommends water cooling for the FX-9XXX, and 84W is a lot cooler than 220W.
