Which one should i get?
fx-9590 vs i7 4770k

AMD is 284 € for me
Intel is 295 € for me


I play the newest games (and record) and do a lot of editing.
I think that the 8 cores would come in handy with rendering and recording.

System:
GPU: Gigabyte GV-N760OC-4GD rev. 2.0
RAM: Kingston HyperX Beast 2x8 GB 2400MHz
PSU: Chieftec 700W GPS-700A8
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i
 
Solution
If you do a lot of editing, then the logical choice is AMD.

If you think you need the extra muscle, go for the 9590, but necessarily OC it, because otherwise there is no point, as mentioned earlier, in paying a premium just for 0.7 Ghz increase.

Seeing how the 9590 has (not actually needs) a 220 TDP, that's OCing headroom. Get yourself a solid PSU, motherboard and cooler and OC it to 5.5-6.

Have a blast.
