I am doing a fairly substantial upgrade to my out of date gaming rig i.e. replacing everything but the case and HDDs. I am have a very tough decision which processor I want to run.

Here they are:

I looked that the specs of each CPU and they seem pretty similar. I just want a (probably more trained) look at things.

4790K, no contest. It performs better while consuming a fraction of the power the 9590 uses. It also produces a fraction of the heat and is much more overclockable.

The Maximus VII Hero is also an excellent, excellent motherboard.
