What would be a decent motherboard for FX 9590 which does not have these unneccesary features that makes the mobo a ton pricier.
I am looking for a full atx mobo that is capable of running 9590 and a 2-way SLI setup, and thats it.

I am planning to run a waterloop in the future.

The ASUS M5A99 series is a relatively utilitarian mobo that would fit your needs. Granted, it has some goofy features on certain boards, but nothing like phone access to the BIOS.

^Agreed. Dont get a FX 9590. For $300, you could get a much better CPU. I would suggest you should get a i5 4690k for $240 or an i7 4790k for $340 instead, they both perform better, and with much lower power consumption.

I am currently using the 9590 on a Crosshair V Formula mobo which does not support the 9590, as well as it is faulty.

Update: I bought the CPU 6 months ago, where as it was new and required lots of power, I thought it was beast next-gen material.

Now, 6 months later, I have aquired a little more knowledge in the PC world and am realising how stupid getting a 9590 was.

I wouldn't call it stupid. Ill-informed, probably. Stupid? No. Still, if you're making the best of a poor decision, I did suggest an option that should support your needs fairly well up-thread.

Sorry, forgot to pick your answer as the solution. I looked the mobo up and it looks like it suits my needs just perfect, thank you!
