My budget is $1100 (merica bux) and this is what my current build looks like.

Everything is good except i dont know shit about cpus.
it will be used for gaming and some small servers being run with the games.
A current i5 would be sufficient. or if you can wait, see what ZEN has in store for us.
If you don't mind old architecture 8350/8320 would be good too. But seeing as your are on a 9590 I am assuming you don't want to go backwards?
That isn't what he has it is his proposed build.
Really though I think any FX CPU is not a good option anymore. It is just too old. It does okay but not really worth buying anymore.
Personally any Skylake i5 would be perfect. A 6600K if you want to OC. A 6400, 6500 or 6600 if you don't want to OC. Pick that based on your performance and price needs. The 6500 is probably the sweet spot for price to performance.
As for a mobo the H170 is good however look for Z170s even if you aren't gonna OC. Often times you can get a very good Z170 MB with more features for similar pricing to H170s.
For a budget of $1100 there's no reason to go with AMD these days... that architecture is 5 years old now.
Personally i'd get an i5 6500 with an h170 motherboard, unless if you want to overclock then go with the 6600k and a z170 board.
Im gonna keep the fury nano and il throw in the i5 6500 with the h170

Any particular reason for the Nano? It is a good card, I love mine, but it really is a niche product and for the money you could get something better.... A lot better.
Also you really need to get an SSD. You can't spend this much on a build nowadays and not get an SSD. Even a 120GB one
I LIKE IT!!!
If you can squeeze just another 40ish bucks, DO IT! Throw a 120/250gb SSD in there for an OS drive.
I already have an ssd for boot drive.
120 gb kingston ssd.
Here. This is a much better build and less money too. Same CPU and cooler, different motherboard as yours doesn't support DDR4 which you want on Skylake, different RAM (obvi but works out cheaper and is faster), same HDD, a EVGA 980 Ti (much faster than Nano), same case, a more reasonable and much cheaper PSU (you really don't need 850W with the 980 Ti let alone a Nano), and a copy of Windows (you can pick a copy up on Kinguin for $30 tho but that is your call).
All in $1025 for a faster system.
Not buying an nvidia card. fuck their business practices

fuck nvidia? ok i respect a man who will stand by his principles.
why not wait for the aftermarket 480's and get 2? crossfire support has improved greatly in the last year and it'd be around 500 usd for 2 cards that can outperform the best nvidia has in some games.
Alrighty. That's cool. I can get behind that. I hate nVidia too. Fuck em.
In that case then get either a Fury or Fury X. Both the Asus Strix Fury and XFX Fury X are on sale right now for the same price as the Nano and will perform much better.
Also look at 390 if you are staying under 1440p in which case I recommend the Sapphire Nitro and wanna save some cash
Probably gonna shoot for a fury x then if i can get the extra bucks.
EDIT: apperantly the fury x is the same price as the nano. Done deal for me!
Lol I literally said that in my post :p but yeah get the Fury X and then the other stuff in my build.
The 6500 is faster strictly for gaming but if multitasking is important those E5 2670s might be worth a look. They are Sandy Bridge 8 core parts with HT, boosting up to 3GHz on all cores and they go for around 50-70 bucks on ebay. The board will be more expensive thou.
