is it worth to spend 30$ more and take an i5 4670, instead of 4570/4590?
I wouldn't use this pc only for gaming, but also for demanding programs and VMs

Thank you for your attention
 
Solution
There would be zero real world performance difference between the 3 so get whichever is cheapest. I usually recommend the 4570 or 4590 for most builds.
A zeon E3 would suit you more for VMs.

But to answer your question, the only difference is clock rate and sence those cpus are all locked, you have to pay for the extra Ghz of the 4670 which is worth it to most but not to some.

If i'm correct, the i5 4590's clock speed is really close to the i5 4670 so that one would be the best all arounder cpu of the bunch.
