While that is a decent price, you will have to spend more than double that for a motherboard and cooler to support it.
So no, its not good for that price.

The fx 9590 requires a high end AM3+ motherboard while the g3258 a low end 1150. Which motherboard do you have?

The FX-9590 performs alright. It's normally close to an Intel i5 in gaming performance, and those go for ~$200, but the i5's can be used with a $50 motherboard and the free included cooler, whereas the FX will need a $175+ motherboard and probably at least $80 in cooling, and may not be stable even then. They're not terribly slow despite being an FX, because of the high clockspeed, but some people can't EVER get them stable, and a system that crashes constantly isn't useful no matter how cheap it is.

Not to mention the power supply requirements.

ok i am going to get pentium and overclock it with a non stock cooler.Thanks for answers

It's not worth $0.05 right now. As everyone here said - it requires a lot to run especially in the power and cooling areas.

The CPU itself is good for $106, but that CPU needs 220W of power, and if your motherboard is not good for it, you could have a fire hazard. Also, it comes without a cooler. You will need to spend more than $100 on the cooling and more than $150 on the motherboard. That said, we haven't said anything about the power supply, which will need to be at least 700W(AMD recommends 1000W).
For that price get an i3-6100 if you can, but the G3258(I've gamed with a G3320, only DOTA2, but it does play it with a good GPU(I had a bad one(9400GT))) will play most games, some games like GTA5 will not run on dual-core CPUs and the i3-6100 is seen as quad-core, because of hyperthreading.

Keep in mind too that you need a *quality* 1KW PSU and those aren't cheap. A Seasonic X or EVGA G2 runs at least $175, even more for the Platinum and Titanium models. Even base liquid coolers like the H110i and NZXT Kraken X61 only do 1/2 the job. So it may seem like a good deal until you start adding up the hidden costs.
