I saw the Cyberpower website and I saw that you can configure your own pc.
I found that making the AMD build with FX 9590 was 150$ cheaper than the build with i7 6700K, with the same graphic card,liquid cooling etc..
So which CPU should I choose for this gaming PC??

The FX 9590 is known to be a very hot chip. It's fast, clocked at 4.7Ghz, but creates a ton of heat in doing so. If the system you're looking at is a high-end build (which with a skylake i7 it should be), I wouldn't spend money on a "high-end" AMD-based system.

if you are just going to play games the fx 9590 should serve you quiet nicely especially if overclocking, if you plan on using any more professional applications that take advantage of the i7 hyper threading then i think that the extra cash would be well spent
hope this helps

DO NOT GET THE FX 9590!

Google FX9590 heat/overheating problems and similar to see why.

The Intel chip is also significantly more powerful. If you want to save money, get a FX8320 or FX8350 system but understand you are getting a system that is already at the end of the road.

The 6600K is more comparable with the FX9590 AND it's more powerful. (So is the 4690K)

Getting the FX9590 would be a serious mistake.
