Go for the 8370 or something intel, the 9590 is a hot, expensive, power sucking monstrosity of a cpu.

If you are buying a new cpu and motherboard in the 9590 price range, please rethink.
A 9590 is essentially a FX-8350 that has been well binned and overclocked to the max.
You can come close for less by buying a FX-8350 and overclocking yourself.
If your application is multithreaded editing or such, a 8 core FX is a decent deal.

If you plan on gaming, for the price of a 9590, you can buy a i5-4690k that will perform better.

And... If you can, wait for the Skylake 6600K launch.

Thank you very much for the list.

Yes I know that the 9590 eats power and if not done correctly can overheat easy. But just for kicks im going to go with it and if I don't like it with one of the boards listed above ill be able to downgrade.

I would highly recommend against that, you could get a better performing i5 for a similar price. But hey its your money i wont try to tell you what to do.

I'd go with an i5 or i7 also, I have a 8370 on the Crosshair, which I primarily built for testing and helping with support issues here on the forums, my prvious 3570K IB rig was more powerful overall

If you are still sold on that chip I would go with the Sabertooth, I've been using it for over a year now and with an fx 8350 @ 4.8 on an air cooler and the thing is rock solid. The main reason why I went with AMD for one of my systems was some of the apps I use for work didn't work correctly with an intel chip. But really just for the price for the expensive motherboard for the 9xxx chips you would be better off getting A Xeon which is a great chip and some intel board for under $100 would suite your needs would probably run the same if not cheaper than the expensive motherboard plus chip you would need to buy just to get it to run. If you go the 8370 route and have no plans for sli or crossfire just get the gigabyte ud3p
