I currently have an Intel Core i5-4590 for my gaming PC, i'm not much of an expert but I hear that the i5-4590 is rather outdated. What would be a recommended upgrade, with a reasonable price?

As long as you're already using an SSD to see the benefits from that speed. More often than not, people think that they need to upgrade the CPU, but it's usually because they are using a HDD instead of an SSD.

If you upgrade your CPU to a new one, you will also have to upgrade your motherboard, and you will also have to upgrade your RAM.

I'd suggest going with an i7-4770K so you can keep your motherboard and RAM the same.

That being said, Are you currently using an SSD? How much RAM do you have?

I currently have 16 GB RAM and both an SSD and HDD

This is honestly the best advice.

Yes your CPU is rather outdated in terms of model numbers, but in terms of processing power, if it is still working and not giving you any problems and you don't plan on doing a major overhaul to your system, then staying with what you have is the best bet.

If anything it would make more sense to start saving up now for your next PC so when you intend to do an upgrade to get you back to a more current gen build.
