Hi, so im going to be upgrading again and im going to get a AMD FX 9590 CPU and a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 MO along with a GTX 980 and some other parts but the main thing i am worried about is if the CPU will run fine with that MO and not fry it or anything ? Also would a 750w be enough to power all this ? or should i go for a 1000w ? (In case i go sli with another 980...in the future)

Yes ASUS Crosshair V formula-Z would be a good choice.
a decent 750W tier 1 and 2 psu will do:

A good one is EVGA Supernova 750W G2.

Hi, thanks for your replys and at this moment the 9590 is only £160 (UK) and would the Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z Motherboard work fine with it ? Iv been getting mixed thoughts on the motherboards as i don't want to spend money then it all messes up! Also would a 750w psu power all this ?

Your choices for the 9590:

ASRock 990FX Extreme9
Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z
Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0
Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 R4.0
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7
MSI 990FXA-GD80V2

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.

Again agree with Suztera. A good 750w PSU will be enough.

But I can't understand your logic for choosing 9590.
If you don't want to spend lots of money for an i7, then e3 would be a good choice.
Better performance, less heat, less power, cheaper, pci-ex 3.0 and possibility to upgrade to i7-4790k.
