Hi guys, looking to upgrade my cousins PC
Currently:

M5A99X EVO R2.0 Mobo
AMD FX 6100
GTX 570
8GB RAM
Stock cooler
600W PSU

Parts we're thinking of buying:

16GB (2x8GB) Corsair DDR3 Vengeance
Noctua NH-L9a Low Profile Quiet CPU Cooler
AMD FX 9590 Black Edition
Gigabyte 990FXA-UD5 R5, AMD 990FX
GTX970 (1070's a bit pricey at the moment, on this budget)
Coursair 750D case

I think this should be a worthwhile upgrade and that should all work out fine but would appreciate any quick thoughts or advice?

Thanks in advance.
 
Good shout guys, so out of touch with AMD stuff but with a quick google gander I see your point!

Looks like i5 6600K may be the way forwards, even made the build a little cheaper than before.

I'll look into the 480 and release dates etc, rather not go for the reference card though.
