Actually, he needs an LGA2011 board.

Also, that build is very, very unbalanced. What will this PC be used for?

Are you just trolling? The motherboard (AMD) and the processor (Intel) don't work together.

I suggest you buy Eduello's build and save yourself a headache.

Yeah, when picking CPUs and motherboards the socket needs to be the same. So for example, if you choose a CPU that uses the LGA1150 socket, you need an LGA1150 motherboard. PCPartPicker is great for finding out which parts work together.

Sorry, but the PSU is still way too big. Also, you don't need 2 graphics cards. And both of those graphics cards are underpowered.

And while the motherboard technically could support the FX-9590, it's not listed on the support page: http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/990FX%20Extreme3/?cat=CPU

They're underpowered in the sense that they're not going to be up to the job that you want to accomplish.
