I plan to buy a new cpu but Which one is the best performance for your buck? I know the 4670 is the best option but is it worth that money if im not doing any overclocking? Can someone tell me the differences of each cpu? I'm just using it for gaming and I plan to get a msi r9 390.
 
Where are you buying? Local prices make a lot of difference when considering price/performance. For i5 chips it's fairly easy Divide the Turbo Boost speed in Mhz (3400 for the 4460) by the cost in whatever currency you are using and the CPU with the highest number is the best value.

In the US at the moment, the ranking is 4460>4590>4670 With only 100Mhz advantage over the 4590 (less than 3%), the 4670 is by far the least cost efficient at a $25 (15%) premium.
