Honestly, no.

The 9590 is a pointless CPU. Massive power draw, tons of heat, and mediocre singlethreaded performance even at 5GHz. I sure as hell wouldn't pair it up with that PSU, the CX-series uses low quality caps and won't last long, especially with CPU power draw like that.

The 9590 is also only certified to work with a few high-end board, like the Asus Crosshair V Formula.

The SSD suffers from false advertising. Kingston changed the NAND-type without telling anyone and it won't reach advertised speeds by a long shot.

The GTX970 has some problems currently with VRAM allocation and I'd hold of on buying it until Nvidia comes up with a proper solution or a price drop.

With this kind of budget, I'd go Intel. Something like this:

You can do truly insane things on a $1500 budget these days

If you plan to play games with this pc, buy i7 or i5 it will perform more performance in games than 9590

Cor blimey, the heat and noise coming from 290X crossfire? Not worth it.

I've gone for a single GTX 980, will do better with future games, and also allows you to SLI when you need.

I'd take Vex's build. Those lightnings are great cards (especially for overclocking) and run fairly cool.
