Im thinking about getting a Intel Core i5 4590 to last me a while. How long will this core last me, also are there other options that may be better?

iv been using a dual core for the last 5 years maybe more and it still can run most games in a good quality with a good videocard... as long as the aplication/game you run is not cpu based you wont find any problem/bottleneck on the graphics -if you have a good videocard to match with the processor- ... as it is not a K processor, it cannot be overclocked and someday you will need a more powerfull cpu for the next generation games/aplications... i would say depending on... what you are gonna do with it... it could last longer without needing to get a new one... if you want gamming it wil be ok for the next 5 years i believe... with a good videocard with high graphics settings, not ultra in all the tittles but in most of them very high...

Easily 10 years, but I upgrade around every 4 years. You can't really put a time frame on it because we will never know the process and speed of the advancement of technology. Maybe tomorrow some scientist finds a way to mine 60,000,000 bitcoin but he will need 5x 4960X's?

Same with games too, but judging by the way things are going and the power of that processor, easily the 4 -10 years.
