I've heard many bad things about that motherboard... On AMD platforms it's a great idea to have a look at boards on this list (http://www.overclock.net/t/946407/amd-motherboards-vrm-info-database) to find one with a sufficient amount of power phases. Also, you can make the PSU the 550W version. Use the money saved to get a better cooler.

*cough* 

*cough* The 9590 is basically a binned 8350... Your 8350 may end up being a 9590 without you knowing it.

If you can try to get a better GPU.

A 9590 is basically a factory overclocked 8350, so just be careful when overclocking and it should be fine? Maybe...

a 9590 is basically a very overclocked 8350

The board doesn't support 9590's. I have an FX 8350 which the board does support. And why is the GPU bad.

Literally, they take 8350s, find out which ones overclock the best, overclock the to hell and call them 9590s. Oh and I though it was a different mobo... my bad.

The 380 is perfectly fine.

Great, this has gone from me being happy that im getting a new PC, to me being scared that I might burn my house down.

 

EDIT: Why would they put a 9590 in a 8350 box anyway?

Nah, the mobo has heatsinked 8+2 phase VRMs, it's fine. Because they may have gotten an 8350 and it came so close to being a 9590 but failed at the last moment.

The R9 380 is basically a 7970 iirc. Which isn't a bad card and it would be fine in most cases but getting something newer like a r9 290 (r9 390) would get you better performance. Also I've got an r9 290 so I'm a bit bias that way :P

Everyone is telling me a "9590 is a "binned" 8350, you could have a 9590 but you dont even know it." How is this possible?
