Is anyone here using the i5-4590?

Finally i've been able to order a z97 board.

If i can economize properly over the next few weeks i might be able to afford a new i5-4590. Is anyone using one? If you are do you wish you'd bought a faster i5? Are you kicking yourself for not buying an i7?

I've got 8GB of Teamgroup ram and can use either a GTX770 or an R9 290X.

£200 for a 4690K seems very steep, i'd like to cut the cost down a bit if i can.

I would very much like to hear what people think.

I bought one for my son, it's paired with a 750ti, and he loves it. Farcry 4 on high settings with his 1080p monitor is fantastic.

the K chip domination is doing my head in...

the 2500K is still maxing out games.
my [email protected](boost) as more power then the my old 2500k did at 4.5ghz.
the 4590 is only 0.10Ghz slower then a 4670 so if you set it to run a boost constant it will be fine no problem

Thank you both, you've given me plenty to think about
