my neighbor said:
If I play online MMOs and stream, make videos.. Will a i5 4590 perform well? I'm thinking of buying a h97 board with this i5 or getting an i5 4690k with z97. Will the locked cpu perform the same in guildwars 1 and 2, league and rs3? Is overcloxking necessary, and will a i5 4590 last 5+ years without needing to overclock to get no lag? And is the stock cpu cooler enough for i5 4590 with long gaming times?

For some terribly optimized games, yes.

Overclocking is a way to buy cheaper parts, and get more speed out of them, maybe equal to a part that costs 25-200% more. So, you question depends on what parts you are talking about, and whether they are top of the line, or bottom of the line, there are many variables to consider.

you dont need to overclock but you can get the maximum performance for your money out of your parts by overclocking.
