Both CPUs are about the same. I found both CPUs on Ebay brand new one being $144.50 + 9.75 shipping (Core i5 4590) and the core i5 4590S being 113.50 + 2.00 shipping

I looked them both up and compared them they both seem about the same. Just a few differences.

Intel Core 4590S has lower thermal design power (65W) with the 4590 at 84W.

Multi Threaded Performance: core i5 4590 has 1.04 and Core i5 4590S has 1.00

single core performance: 1.01 for i5-4590 and 1 for i5-4590S

which one would you recommend? Both seem very similar, would I notice a huge difference if I were to get the 4590S over the 4590? I was originally planning on getting i5-4590 but looking at the specs i'm not sure.

Or are there any other cpus you would recommend over these 2.
 
Solution
Get the 4590, it's slightly faster than the S model. Only buy the S model if you need to save energy or have a really cheap CPU cooler.
the 4590s is designed for smaller computers, and has a lower TDP and slightly lower performace. I doubt you will notice a difference, so you should get the 4590s, simply because it is cheaper.
 



what do you mean by "Smaller computers"

do you mean the case? because I bought a mid tower.
 


He means cases that have restricted airflow and only extremely small cases that are mini itx or smaller have that problem.
