I was just wondering what's the performance difference between an i5 4590 and i5 6600k

Do you have the 4590 already? 

 

And what GPU do you have/are planning to get.

I'd believe the 6600K will be maybe around 5-15% faster as it has a small advantage in clock speed (3.5-3.9) over the 4590's (3.3 - 3.7) and is on a newer architecture, but if this is about upgrading then i wouldn't say it was worth it unless you were running some CPU demanding stuff like cities skylines and that.

Here is your answer kind sir.

You did not just link CPU boss did you? At least link a good site like User Benchmark.

I've got an i5 4590 i was just wondering if 6600k was better or not

well you can find general information about the CPUs everywhere. There u jsut have them side by side so you can see from GENERAL DESCRIPTION....

 

and what is so wrong about the site?...

Well as Ellyroo said, it will perform a bit better, especially in CPU intensive games. I would personally not upgrade until at least another generation though.

Yes the i6 6600k is better, at base you will be 5-10% on average faster, but the 6600k is Overclockable so you can really drive that gap up much higher.
