Can the Asrock 990fx killer fatality support the fx 9590. According to some sources it can but other sources point needing the 990fx professional. This cpu would be ran at stock with no overclocking. Would this combination work?

According to the MoBo's website, it can't:

And avoid FX 9, its crap performance wise, too much TDP and price, requires alot of money over MoBo and cooler, do yourself a favour and get FX 8 or i5 K version.

Okay I'm looking at the fx8350 instead seems to be a better option. And as far as I can tell the 8370 really isn't worth the $30+ extra all I notice is a .1ghz higher on turbo

Yep, FX 8 is a lot better option. The max OCing point for typical 8350 and 70 is more or less the same, invest those extra $30 on a better MoBo or CPU cooler. Also, if the purpose is gaming, have you considered the i5? It has better upgrade path.
