You do not need watercooling for a 3 monitor setup as long as your temps in air cooling stay around 80c. If i goes abnormally high, like say 85c, then you may have to consider it an option,

No problem, you can try the setup, if you don't feel comfortable with high temps, you can go ahead with water cooling, although both work well.

i mean as much as possible i hope that i do not need it,i wanna go for the 390 instead of gtx 970,but i was just really worried that the AMd gpu will run hotter than 970. i will have 3 intake fans and 2 exhaust on a mid tower hopefuly it will be fine?

Definitely, without a problem.
