The i5-4590 would be your best option. However, if you were to throw in 40€ more, you can get the i5-4690K.

Thank you all!

Wow you guys are fast.

 

Thank you.

 

I was thinking about the i5 4460. Is there realy any diference between it and the  i5 4590?

I should say I don't intend to overclock or anything.

He's mainly gaming, so no need for the raw multithreaded power of the FX....

AMD ships in that range are good and so are intel. in the lower end of chips however, AMD wins in most cases. as you go up the totem, Intel begins to destroy AMD. FOr cost to power ratio, AMD normally takes the cake. I'm ssaying this as a fan boy of neither. I personally have an i7 4790k so no AMD fan boy here.
