I would say a 1050ti is a more balanced match for that CPU. Also, the 1060 will push your PSU close, specially if you are OC'ing the CPU. If no OC's then you should get by, but it's too close with not enough headroom for me. That's my opinion.

Depends too on what res you're playing at, and what you desired results are. If your playing at 1080p @60hz you'd want the 1060 for best results. For some dialled back settings or lower res, then the 1050ti might be a better choice.

Thanks for the help, and I am currently OC my CPU. I do plan on installing my new EVGA 650 BQ, and the FX-9590 in my system, so I think I will be going with the GTX 1060 6Gb everyone is telling me to get.

No prob, you're welcome. Yeah, I've the 1060 6gb, its a beast mid-range card. Nothing it can't handle at 1080p 60hz. Quiet, and cool (never gets above 60c playing demanding games) Love it.

Don't do that OP, don't spend anymore money in the FX platform, the 9590 will require a very expensive mobo and won't give you the performance you desire. It's a hot and awful chip.

With that money you'd spend on it it is a MUCH MUCH wiser choice to get a whole new platform, Even a Ryzen 3 or a Kaby Pentium or Coffee i3 will be extremely better than that FX.
