both AM3+ should be fine 
That is not correct. The 9590 requires specific 990FX chipsets. That motherboard is not compatible.

Unless you are a pure AMD enthusiast, there is little need to buy a 9590FX. It's an overclocked 8350 that sucks much more power and offers very little improvement over the 8350.

Is there another Processor I should get instead that is compatible with my current motherboard but has the same power as the 9590?
Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P
AMD FX-8100
XPG-V2 8GB DDR3-1866 * (2)
Powercolor R7-260X 2GB
Toshiba 2TB 7200RPM 64MB SATA3 HDD
LEPA G750-MAS 750W Power
Also, the graphics card I want to update to has a pci 3 port and i don't believe my mobo has that. How much performance would i lose putting it into a pci 2 port?

Well upgrading the CPU from an 8100 to an 83XX will improve performance a little because the first generation FX processors (41xx, 61xx, 81xx) aren't really an improvement over Phenoms II. So look into an 8350.
Graphic ports (PCIe) are backwards compatible. You can place any PCIe 3.0 GPU in a PCIe 2.0 port without suffering performance loss. PCIe 2.0 actually hasn't been fully utilized so it's likely that motherboards that support Crossfire or SLI actually have similar performance to PCIe 3.0 boards. You'll be fine. Don't worry about that.
You even have a decent PSU. So upgrade away.
Edit: I forgot to add, before you pop in a new PSU, check the BIOS version of your motherboard. You may need to update it to support the second gen FX processors.
