Solution
Just don't touch the FX9xxx CPU's. It will cost a fortune to even attempt to get it running right. It needs high end motherboard (that supports 220w cpu's), high end cooling and AMD recommend a minimum of a 1000w PSU.
Also for most thing the i5 is going to be similar or better, if you need the extra threads of the FX9 then go i7

i5-4440: you just need a decent H97 mobo [under 100 bucks] & a decent 550W PSU
FX-9590: you need a high end mobo [200 bucks or more], a better cooling [100 bucks] [that cpu is a heater] & a decent 700+W PSU [must]
* You can get i5-4440 or i5-6500 or wait for AMD ZEN cpu

H81 = two memory-slots.
B85, H87, H97 or whatever = four memory-slots, number of sata ports and usb and usb 3.0 change somewhat.
Z87 & Z97 = let you over-clock K-processors.
Price difference of H97 and Z97 are usually close to nothing.
