Gigabyte UD3, and get a 8320 and overclock it instead of the 9590. Single 780 would be a better choice than 2 760s

I already bought the 2 760's :/

You are not going to get an 8320 close to a 9590, I would go an 8350 (even then you may not get the same OC with out a good cooler) and I agree with the rest. 

PC: Corsair C70 Arctic, FX 9370, Corsair H80i, Gigabyte 990fxa-ud3, Corsair Vengence 16gb, Palit JetStream GTX 970, OCZ Vertex 4 128gb and Western Digital Blue 1Tb + 500gb, Antec Gamer 520w

Peripherals: Logitech G19 and SteelSeries Sensei RAW

Toshiba L50-A: i7 4700mq, 8gb, 1TB HDD, GT 740M 2gb

I was saying that to the guy that suggested the 8320, all goods mate, as long as you got it for under $300 then its worth it.

Yes but the 8320 isn't rated to be stable at an 8350 (otherwise it would be one) what I am saying is that it won't get to 5ghz even if he WANTED to.

In that case you need a gigabyte ud7 or a asus crosshair v formula z. nothing else has a good enough vrm.

Will the MSI 760G-P34 FX not work?

 

It has a whopping 3+1 power phase good to deliver around 250 watts+
