This is the best option if you can fit it in your budget. It has hyperthreading so will tear through your task like a knife through butter and won't require any overclocking, because it can't. But you really want a SSD, makes a huge difference.

We have now settled on the fact that the 4790k would probably be overkill, and we have bought the E3 1231v3 from Newegg, as is seems like it will be enough for what we are planning on using it for, and that it has hyperthreading and it has better performance than the 4590 that we were thinking of getting and it isn't too much more. Thanks all!

Good choice:) Overclocking is fun but not cost effective. It takes more than a k at the end to overclock. I have over 200us stuck in keeping my rig cool because everything I have is Overclocked. Worth it to me because I spend hours playing with settings and love it. But I don't fool myself into thinking it matters that much outside the fun factor. Good luck with the build!

If anyone asks you never saw me.
