I would strongly advise against buying one of the 9590 or 9370 series cpu's and a MSI board.

If you do want to buy one of those cpu's then you would be better buying a Asus or Gigabyte board as they have better, VRM's and the VRM design is alot better as well.

Those 9000 series cpu's draw that much power that they can quite easily burn out motherboards which is, why they were initially not going to be sale for the general public and were only going to be available, to system building companies who could put the time and effort in to build a proper watercooling loop for the cpu and motherboard.

If you really want a 8 Core AMD chip then grab a 8320 or 8350 and overclock it to 5.0ghz since most hit that, speed whilst staying cool and not needing a custom waterloop.
