Or even the 9370. I am trying to keep my budget at or under $900. It is currently at about $830 with the 8350. Would it bbe worth it to bump up my budget to get the 9590?

I mainly want to game in 1080p at 30-60 fps on high for most games.

If your looking to overclock the 8350 I would pick it, but if you aren't going to I would consider getting an intel cpu instead of the 9590.

Your choices for the FX9000 series:

ASRock 990FX Extreme9
Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z
Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0
Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 R4.0
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7
MSI 990FXA-GD80V2

Warning: This power draw of this CPU is almost twice that of the average CPU. Due to this, AMD recommends using at minimum a 1000W power supply. For cooling, AMD recommends using either either closed loop liquid cooling or full system liquid cooling.

No it is not worth the heat and the power! if you could afford the 9590 or even the 8350 you could set yourself up with the i5. BUT the 8350 offers certain features and key factors that make it a very good CPU. Comparing an equivalent Intel CPU would be the i5 4330 for its price range... Again it all depends on what you would like Intel = Amazing Single Threaded Core Performance | AMD = Amazing Multi-Threaded Performance for its price. IMO I'd go for the i5 if you are mainly doing gaming or building your PC that is leaning its performance in the gaming side.

I also recommend an Intel i5.

Since you were willing to go up $70 over the FX-8350 then I suggest the i5-4690K. That gives a pretty solid base to prevent CPU bottlenecks whereas the FX-8350 already bottlenecks most games.

So I'd get the i5-4690K, Z97 motherboard, and the best graphics card you can afford after the rest of the parts.

If you are gaming go for an i5 based system. Here's a build just under $900
