So I was planning on getting Intel i5 4590k as it was only £10 more than the Intel i5 4590, however, the Intel i5 4590 is now £20 cheaper.
I do not plan to overclock/SLI ,so I have read (and been told) that I don't need the K.
At the same time if the K will provide better performance and save me having to upgrade my CPU for a little longer than the Intel i5 4590 I really don't mind spending the extra £20.
I do not plan to get a new PC and hope to not upgrade anything major for a fair few years, so if I have to spend a little extra now it might be better in the long run.
Just worried that I will regret not getting the K.
Which one should I go for?
Any information that you can give me between performance of both will be much appreciated.
This is my build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/qNCkK8
P.s Am i right in thinking that my motherboard and RAM will allow for mild over-clocking?
