A 4770K is unnecessary for gaming, and will give you maybe a 2 percent improvement. Get a 4670K and use the saved $100 on a better GPU. A 780 or 290 for example. Is t worth selling your current parts for though? Maybe not. Up to you, but it would be a good 40 percent increase.
hey, i just looked up the 780 on newegg, and the core& boost clock is much lower than my current 770 SC. Sorry im a noob at computers, so i just judge base on the numbers. so i dont get why it would increase my performance by 40%. unless lower the number is better?
If you've already bought it, then keep all of the parts because it's a good setup, but I do agree with the above.
The 4770K is a great processor and by no means is the GTX 770 a slouch (in fact it's very fast), but if I was building the very best gaming rig, I too would have gone for an i5 4670K and would have gone for a GTX 780 or R9 290X which would have performed even better.
The GTX 780 and R9 290X are faster than the GTX 770 by the way. Even if the 770 is overclocked and the 780 and 290X are at stock speeds.
But by no means is your PC bad. In fact, it's very very good. :good:

i have a gtx 770 4gb and bf4 don't use more that 2gb gddr5 ram, on the overclock settings i can get 80-85fps.
personally i have it on v-sinc just to make it sit a little stabler on fps (monitor cant refresh any more than 60 times anyway) and it hardly ever drops below 60fps, maybe once or twice in a large 64 player deathmatch say if a huge bomb goes off next to you, maybe to 57-58fps. and on the odd game in normal sized matches.
but i do agree with the above, clock speed isn't everything. its whats inside that counts such as the shader cores/ transistors as mentioned above. giving more clock speed will give more speed over stock but not by a mile.
your 770 will be fine for bf4, if you wanted the best of the best, get the gtx 780 or titan, or the r9 290x
the 780 or r9 290x however would give you a better gaming experience, but i doubt by 40%. the gpu benchmarks give on bf3:
gtx 770, 81fps oc edition with similar specs to yours, 76fps on stock 2gb edition.
gtx 780 3gb, 94fps
r9 290x 3gb, 94fps
gtx 780 ti, 111fps
so as you can see, not a 40% increase and personally not worth the extra money. its more of a 15-20% increase.
gtx 770 is £275 gtx 780 is £420.
if you need more power in the future upgrade, maybe even add another card in sli.

Yeah exactly. I know I've said that the 780 and an i5 would have performed better, but you do have one very powerful system there.
So, stop worrying - and get gaming! :good:
