As the title say , it worths to update cpu 4770 to 4770k?

I built my pc (only for gaming , fb-skype ,movies etc ) , and iam not really lets say '' hardwares-funboy 😛'' so i ddnt ever know about oc , now iam start to learn more about these thinks.
So if i had the 4770k with an oc that will be helping on gaming so much more than simmple 4770? i mean i would see more fps ? or better graphics ? that i will worth to spend another 300 euros for 4770k ?

And something else , my other ''mistake'' was a cheap motherboard . I took the asus H87M-PLUS. my point is : iam about to plan buy a gtx780 and my question is ''i have to update my m-b or i can keep it?'' iam always talking about my gaming results .
Thank you :)
 
No I see absolutely NO reason to do that. You won't be able to overclock on a H87 board anyway. The H87 is not a "cheap" board by any means, it just doesn't support overclocking. The mistake you made was not getting a Xeon e3-1230v3 instead of the 4770. You could have saved $60-70.
 


Yeah! but it seems like he can spend money for CPU to get graphics and why not to spend money for two 780 😀
 

I didnt know anything when i build my pc like i said , i just wanted a gaming pc :)
and i heard that i-7 4770 was a good cpu and will be able to last 2-3 years for high-ultra gaming
 

yes make fun of me iam a noob at hardware sorry about that 😛 thats why i came here 😛
 


i7 is overkill for gaming, i5 4670k is just fine, and will last 2-4+ years.
 
As far as gaming goes the gain you MAY get from an OC is very minimal. I had an OC on my 6350 at 4.8ghz and I put it back to the stock 3.9ghz and I maybe lost 4-5 fps. Games are normally GPU dependent for performance.
 


That's why 90% of us came here xD and yet now somehow I'm in the top 5 contributors of the month 0.o I've even picked up a couple shinny badges along the way 😀
 


That means you had a slight CPU bottleneck quite possibly 😛 or even that the game was more CPU dependent then you previously thought. 😀
 

hahaha be strong and patient more of me will COME 😀
 


Technically there is always going to be a bottleneck, whether slightly or noticeably.
