Warning: This power draw of this CPU is almost twice that of the average CPU. Due to this, AMD recommends using at minimum a 1000W power supply. For cooling, AMD recommends using either either closed loop liquid cooling or full system liquid cooling.
Here's a great one at a killer price.

Just like mr. blackbird said, that cpu consumes more than twice the wattage of any other cpu on the market, so your going to want at least a 850-1000W PSU, I recommend the latter.
If you are looking for a good PSU, look at the Corsair HX 1000W PSU.

Why not get an fx 8350 ?, the FX 9590 is just a factory overclocked fx 8350
And yes you will need nothing less than a watercooling kit to cool that chip

Just buy an i5 for about $190 to $200 and you would be much better of in terms of performance, power and heat levels. $320 is a waste of money for that processor
