For a 8350 and a 290, a 600 watt PSU would be about the lowest I would suggest.

As for FPS, that's gaming dependent. Just search for "290 benchmarks." I will say you'll be able to play Ultra settings @1080.

Is there a particular reason you're going with the 9590? It's an overclocked 8350 that uses a heck of a lot more power and quite a bit hotter. You will need to buy a very good air cooler or even a water cooler. You most likely won't be able to overclock it any higher than it's "stock" speed. It's more of a trophy chip. For gaming an i5 does better. If you're looking for more threads for video editing a Xeon is a great option.
 
Your choices for the 9590:

ASRock 990FX Extreme9
Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z
Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0
Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 R4.0
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7
MSI 990FXA-GD80V2

AMD.COM

Warning: This power draw of this CPU is almost twice that of the average CPU. Due to this, AMD recommends using at minimum a 1000W power supply. For cooling, AMD recommends using either either closed loop liquid cooling or full system liquid cooling.
 



Oh ok, so if i go for a AMD FX-8350, 4,0 GHz - What power supply would i need?

And can you tell me about how much FPS i will get if i go with AMD FX-8350, 4,0 GHz and ASUS R9 290 DC II OC
