Hi there, i wonder if there's anyone out there that could help me with my setup i'm gonna be building this month. The setup will be as following:

Mobo: MSI 970 gaming.
Cpu: amd fx 9590
Gpu: MSI radeon R9 380 gaming 4Gb
Kingston hyperion 2x8GB
Now i am left with my psu will 750 watts be enough to power this? And does anyone recommend watercooling on my cpu? As i have read amd will get pretty Hot and will 750 Still be enough for watercooling?

If an FX-8350 isn't enough oomph, then move up to an i7. The 9590 is one of the most disappointing CPUs, I'd argue since the late Pentium 4s. It's hot, inefficient, power-hungry, and occasionally a real bear to keep stable.

The only people who should be buying the 9590 are the heavy overclocking enthusiasts who like tinkering and want to see just how far they can push the chip on a proper setup. For practical everyday usage, it's an awful purchase.
