So I just got the FX-9590 and I have waited to get a cooler for it because I didn't have time to build the Computer anyways so I just got everything except the cooler since I wanted advice from you guys on wich cooler I was going to choose. So now I have time to build it.

I have seen Linus Tech Tips unboxing the FX-9590 in a combo wich AMD shipped to him with a Cooler Master Seidon 120mm. Is that a nice cooler for this CPU? I thought it might be good since AMD usually shipped their FX-9590 with a seidon 120mm but I ask you guys, is it going to be fine for normal use (that means no OC)?

That is a OK cooler. I would personally go up to at least a Corsair H80i or equivalent to cool it, basically a thicker dual fan 120mm or a 240mm dual fan setup like the H100i. The 9590 is a beast when it comes to power draw and heat and needs high end cooling to be able to run at its maximum speed.
