■ 1. The MSI 970 gaming is nowhere near good enough to run a 9590.you need a GOOD quality 990 series board
Asus 990 crosshair v formula
Asrock 990 extreme 9
Gigabyte 990fx gaming

2.you haven't listed a cooler , the 9590 doesn't come with one & you're going to need a 240mm rad aio really.

3. I can't think of one scenario where building a new build with 2x 380 crossfire makes any sense at all , at 1080p a single 390 is going to perform better across the board the majority of the time due to crossfire scaling issues.
At 1440p or higher the 4gb vram in the cf setup would hold back performance.
Far far better off with a single 8gb card.

4k? heck no


not even close


good 1080p high settings setup


outdated cpu, not good enough motherboard to handle the cpu, and too weak gpu for 4k

for 4k you need sli gtx 980 ti's minimum for decent settings and fps



your cpu is too weak to handle that

The CPU really has nothing to do with running 4k gaming.
You'll ultimately be that limited by GPU power at that resolution (ultimately the only single card capable of 4k gaming is the new gtx 1080 & that will only manage 40fps generally) that literally any CPU from the fx 6300 amd wise or a lower end i5 will do whatever the GPU is capable of.

Irregardless the MSI 970 gaming will not run a 9590 reliably at all (I wouldn't buy that CPU anyway)
