I had one in my last build ( I no longer have) .. 5 year old cpu doesn’t mean it’s obsolete.. there are plenty of cpus that are still relevant from 10 years ago.. some even still 4 core.
The 9590 still has 8 cores, 4.7 “base” clock. Overclock ability and still plenty of performance potential.
Support such as drivers and BIOS updates for older hardware like motherboards is what you need to keep in mind, you mention that you already have Windows 7 builders version, this for example will be shelved in less than two years time and board manufacturers do not tend to go to the time, trouble and expense of creating drivers etc for older hardware so you could end up needing to upgrade again sooner rather than later.
Is your Windows 7 the same as what you had on the first computer.
It is. Yes I understand it’s dated.. however,. In the interim, I have been using a laptop with windows XP. So it’s a real upgrade from that and it is still supported.. in 2 years time, I will probably have the thread ripper anyways.
I would say at the end, the budget will be $3000-$4000. +/-.. (including the GPU)
Got to be honest with you BigMudTrux, you would be far better to save up enough cash to purchase current hardware, you post earlier “Fx-9590 black ediion ordered..” did you happen to check on the availability of compatible MBs first, I checked PCPartpickers here and there are none listed.

You missed answering this for us but the reason why I asked is because if the licence key has already been used with OEM/builders versions they can only be used the once and are not transferable, cheapest Windows 7 OEM System builders media that I can find is almost $190 from here
Yes it is from before. I have 3 license keys that came with it.. and yes it’s an official copy.
You do not get more than one product key for any product, it doesn’t matter if the software is a game, Adobe or Microsoft software, when you pay extra for multiple installs of the same software you use the same product key each time, activate the software online and once you have installed and activated the software online the permitted amount of times you will get online confirmation and not be able to register the software on any more computer.
You only get one licence key with Windows OEM/System Builders and they can only be used the once, if you use the same key on another computer it will either not let you activate Windows from the outset or at some point it will tell you that you are using unlicensed software (this message stays on your Windows screen) and you will not be able to update Windows which puts you at risk of malware attack.

970/990 boards work with the CPU. Like ASRock and fatality boards.
Aware of that as I checked but as asked have you actually been able to find one, PCPartPickers checks many merchants for available components and in the case of the US they check the likes of Amazon, Newegg and PC Outlet to name just three and not one of them has a suitable board, you can check yourself here
It’s already on one computer, I have 2 more installs available to me, is what I meant.
Yes I have found many boards to use. Pcpartpicker isn’t the only place to get boards or look them up.
I have already checked.. boards don’t just disappear because a new generation is out. I have found many..have the prices gone up? Yes. But that doesn’t mean I can’t use it.
A couple.. so my build so far ( and I can get pics later)
Im deciding between a ryzen 5 1600x and the Ryzen 7 1700x for a cpu and trying to find a good motherboard.. whether I should do a B350 or a 470. Budget being around $150 for the board I’m guessing and $300 max for the cpu.
I added an all in one card reader with front temp display. It already has a 4TB HDD in it, with more to come
Kind of going slow as money progresses and I satisfy all hobbies at once.
