Trying to decide on an upgrade for my phenom II x6 1090t, would the fx-8350 or fx-8370 be a better upgrade.
 
Solution
Please note that you phenom uses AM3 socket while both the FX you have suggested use the AM3+ socket. Unless your mobo supports AM3+ processors I'm afraid you cant upgrade.
If indeed your mobo does support the AM3+ processors then go for the 8370
