While the FX9590 is an absolute non-consumer oriented product with a non-consumer friendly price, the 9370 priced at 329-349 depending where you look is not too bad. But like I said before, you could probably buy an 8320 for 160 and overclock it to 4.7ghz to match a 9370. 

I haven't had a chance to play with the 8320 yet, but I do have an FX 8120 in another system and it's been sitting on 4.8ghz for the last year or so.
It's performance at that speed was equivalent to a Phenom 2 x6 at 4ghz with a 3ghz NB clock that it replaced. (So I would expect Piledriver to do better!)

Value wise it's not a bad proposition as long as you don't go for AMD's greatest and they really do hold their own against Intel's quads if you do allot of Multi-tasking. (I.E. xSplit + gaming.)
If it wasn't for the fact I do more than just gaming, I would probably be very happy with a FX in my primary machine.
