A switch to Intel is always an upgrade you should go for.

If I was you I'd just stick with what you already have, ignore the FX-9590, you'll probably end up burning your CPU power delivery out

unless you want to go intel, keep the processor you have really not worth getting the 9590 in my opinion. 

 i7 2600k , XFX R9 270x  , Corsair cx 500 ,  asrock z77 extreme 3 , 8 gb ripjaws x 1600 , 1 tb WD blue, Cooler master Haf 912

how does this happen ?

 

The FX-9590 was only sold as an OEM originally because AMD didn't want people burning out their boards, the 9590 requires a lot of power
