With a FX 9590 you also need to factor in the price of the required motherboard(only a few can properly handle a 220w cpu and none of them are cheap) and the cost of the large cpu cooler required for such a cpu. The i7 6700k is the better cpu. It may cost more but with a motherboard and cooler prices aren't much different.

To be fair if you were building an fx 8 core rig for video editing (& irregardless of what others will say it is a good choice on a budget still for that use)
Then you just go with an 8320 ,a cooler, a good budget board & overclock yourself if you ever feel the need.

No reason to spend any more than this at all.

No, you need a top-notch motherboard and cooling to handle a 220W TDP CPU. You also need an excellent PSU as well in order to handle this notoriously unstable CPU.

Your best choices are to buy an 8320/8350, buy an appropriate Intel CPU, or wait for the next AMD chips to come out and evaluate the situation. The 9590 itself is generally a terrible purchase.
