What's your PSU and case? Again, what g12601 said, the 9590 is a toasty little chip.

Not going to work. The 990FX is the only chipset that can handle the FX 9590 properly. The 970 won't cut it. In fact, I wouldn't even go for the FX 9590 when a simple Skylake i5 can ouperform it in gaming pretty soundly.

 

Do you really need 32GB of RAM? 16GB is more than enough.

 

The Gigabyte R9 390X is a voltage locked card with meh cooling. I'd advise to wait for the new RX 480 that'll come out in a few weeks.

 

Unless you have a RAID array or planning to use this as a NAS, there's no reason to get the WD Red. Go for the WD Blue or Black instead.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Will it work on this one?

It'll work but like I said, the FX 9590 is a poor CPU for its price. I don't see why you're so keen on it.
