I want to build a new Gaming PC, but as you know CPU's can be quite expensive. My old PC already has a nice CPU that's around $400 (Intel Core i7 4770). I've only used the PC for around 3 years and I would save a lot of money by using this CPU. Has it lost performance and should be replaced? If I were to replace it, I would get a Intel Core i7-4790K.
My setup for my new computer would be:
