1. The 9590 is one of the worst cpus ever made (huge powerdraw, lackluster performance, runs hot, some have issues running at stock as they are just cherry picked 8350's)
2. No 970 but 1 asrock extreme board supports it (does not work very well at all)
3. its a 5 year old architecture that the cpu is based on and even the lower end i5s have been able to match it easily in games and productivity for a while.
4. Your psu might not be enough or might overload due to the huge cpu power draw (this has happend before even with good capable psu's)

Unlikely. Im not aware of any MSI 970s that can properly handle that cpu and you don't want it anyways. The psu, motherboard and cooling requirements are nuts and even then many are still unstable. It was a poor choice when it first came out and went down hill from there.

Would have to know what exact 970 board you have to know for certin if you can support it.
Olny a few 990 boards supproted it, never heard of a 970 that did.

With that said you should really not waste your time.
The 9590 works better as a space heater then it does as a high performance CPU, all of that heat and power consumption and stress on the sytem and it really gets you very very little over an 8350 which can already be outpaced by a $60 pentium g450 in anything except heavy tasks that can use all 8 threads.

So no matter what your end goal is, the 9590 is not the soultion. Money will be much much better spent being put into a completly different platform.
