posted this on my iPhone 6, but I really wanted to get this out before I forget and left anything out.  

Originally I had my heart sat on the AMD FX-9590 but read all the negativity online about how hot it gets
and even water cooling cannot cool down the processor, but I changed my decision to purchase the processor
and just want/went with the AMD FX-8350 Black Edition, because I fear I'd damage my rig with overheating
and other risks and dangerous. with spending so much money a processor kind of pricey and dies within 
a few months so as people often conversate  about. the processor due to excessive heat problems. 
So would the NZXT X61, that'll keep my FX 8350 cold, I don't plan on overclocking anything of the It's not
necessary at the moment.

And very unsure about those due to reviews, which makes all 
of this a very hard decision of my choosing, I do know that things aren't
built to be perfect just like other brands when everyone thinks brand A
is better than brand B & C. Only thing that bothers me about the liquid coolers

I've Also had a few more others in mind, I forgot which cooler(s)

Hi really appreciate you responding back to me so fast! Wow, so those coolers are good? Hmm i
like most of the three, but i am a little nervous about the Zalman cooler, i already have a Zalman 
CPU air cooler in my current build. Had it for about 4 years now and works fine, it's just that it's
totally different from an fan cooler. But i have contacted Zalman via customer service, everytime
i email them. i never get a reply i was just curious in January '16 sending out emails to them from
2011, last time i have heard from Zalman was in 2015 regarding a 3 fan cooler. But which is irrelevant now 
and forever will be. I've have contacted Zalman about those coolers recently about 5 weeks ago, and still
didn't get response from the email, they've emailed me once since i owned a Zalman cooler back in '06 
and that's a ten year span right there. Now i am kind of starting to believe what people are saying now
about customer service, they could be right but who am i to judge? I know nothing.

There was some much text it is hard to fiqure out what you are asking.

 

If this is a new build I would recommend going for a rx480 to save money, and use less power, and I would not recommend buying amd cpus at this time as zen will hopefully launch soon and am3+ is ancient.

I apologize about the long post as I mentioned before, I have purchased  almost every piece of hardware that's 
listed via "checklist" only thing I haven't  placed an order (ordering it soon) which is the CPU Liquid Cooler.
I Have recently purchased the MSI R9 390 8GB edition, only had it for about a few months, it's 
installed the card into my current build but I am just going to recycle some of the parts into the new build.
I have compared the graphics card  you've mentioned to me.I already placed an order AMD FX 8350 8-core Black Edition 4.2GHz
only reason why I've placed an ordered on that processor is because the AMD FX-9590 is absolute brute and even water cooling
won't help and i didn't want to take that huge risk and screw up anything because I've been building computers since 1999 &
That has never happened to me not ever, and really don't want to experience anything like that with the 9590's overheating issues.

Anyways Thanks your help and recommendation SLAYR  
And also Astrosheen I really
