At minimum Corsair h100i.

Your choices for the 9590:

ASRock 990FX Extreme9
ASRock 990FX Extreme6
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

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.

AMD on a limited supply basis, sent out the Flagship FX-9590 with a stock closed loop water-cooler, accompanied with AMD's mod of ChillControl V. I know I got one from Newegg with this cooler stock and not a heat sink.
I cant guarantee it will come with this but If this is sent out stock, It will meet minimum requirements for warranty coverage as long as its not overclocked. It is not the best cooler, its the minimum required. The best however is relative to your case, system needs, and your environment. That being said bigger surface area is always good and cases limit this so the Corsair 100i GTX extreme edition would be the best closed loop system in my opinion.
Aside from building your own loop, remember you need adequate flow for every plate you drop, That means you may need more than one pump, not just a big radiator.

Hope this helps.
