Why upgrade your current CPU ?
The one you have is plenty good.

There is no point in upgrading your i7 4770 to a i7-4790K you wont see any noticeable gains at all unless benchmarking..
I would get rid of that GTX 770 and upgrade to a GTX 970 if were you..
and the SSD if you don't have one already you will be amazed by the speed..
Perhaps additional ram if you only have 4gb..

I'd only swap out the cpu if your 4770 is the non k version and you really want to overclock for the sake of overclocking. The cost to performance ratio wont be worth the price unless you can get nearly full value for the 4770.

The board, case, ssd and cooler all look good, but what are you upgrading from ?

770 GTX is good but depends on what you want in terms of IQ\performance.

If you're just looking for better gaming performance then selling your 770 and grabbing a 970 GTX is likely your best option.

I would go with the suggestion of a 970 and ssd. Rest of the system is fine as is.

Reported you for trolling and being rude to other users.


@Op I wouldn't upgrade your CPU unless you don't own an unlocked version and you want to OC. I would upgrade your GPU to a 970 though.
