I have AMD FX Series 9590 and i want to buy a graphic card. If i take a NVIDIA card i will lose performance because i have AMD processor? And if i take ATI, will be better?? Pls help! NVIDIA GTX 970 or R9 290X with AMD FX Series 9590? Which one? thx :)

Nvidia cards work perfectly well with AMD processors, and vice versa. Personally, I'd go with the 970 because of the lesser power requirement, heat and noise.

ATI is dead... it is AMD now.
AMD graphics cards do not work better with AMD processors. That is a myth. Some video cards simply work better in some games than others. Go look at benchmarks if you want to know about a specific game's performance. The 970 and 290x are roughly the same in performance with exceptions in a few game titles. The GTX 970 however uses a lot less power and produces a lot less heat so in a head to head match up it wins. It is often more expensive though. Pick either one and you will get roughly the same performance.

The cpu and graphics cards are independent.
Pick whichever you want to go along with a 9590.

GTX970 and R9-290 are in comparable performance tiers.
You will get what you pay for with either.
Be aware that the R9 cards, like your 9590 are high wattage parts, so you might need a stronger psu if you go the amd route.
