5775C tops the 4790K by a little, make sure your BIOS version is ready for it 😉

Intel® Core™ i7-5775C Processor (6M Cache, up to 3.70 GHz)
You means this model right?
But this
Processor Base Frequency 3.3 GHz
Max Turbo Frequency 3.7 GHz
But compared this to I4790k Gen 4(4 GHz, turbo 4.9 GHz (avg))
Which is better?

I dont think that upgrade is worth it no matter what.

Why do you think you even need a better CPU?

If you really do need a better CPU, you're gonna be looking at an x99 motherboard and an Extreme series CPU with like 6 cores (12 threads)

Literally no point in doing that. Broadwell had an aborted release (major production problems) and no overclock parts were ever released, just two desktop chips. Either pickup a i7-4790K or just jump straight to Skylake.

As I said, the 5775C is a tad stronger, it's not much at base, it is unlocked though unlike your 4790
