Pictures, please.

But probably No.

I would not spend money on such an old CPU today. No win 11 support, and can get trounced by a lowly i3 12100.

Can't see your pic...requires a log in to google.

Upload to imgur.com, post the link here.

Going from 4770k to 6700k is not enough change to spend money on (motherboard).

A 6700k is a sidegrade at best, vs a 4770k. Intel wasn't really making huge performance leaps gen over gen back then. I wouldn't spend any money on a board for it.

Can try selling the 6700k if it works obviously and add some money for like 1700 socket

And what would be a good combo with an RTX 3060?

That CPU is unlikely to work.

A whole new system.

A whole new system.

Yeah but what cpu like Gen? 12-13 or even 14th gen

Yeah dont want to risk buying motherboard

You design a whole system, based on your budget and use case.

That depends on what you have to spend. 12600k and 12700k are quite cheap at the moment. But a 14th gen is going to be full price.

My budget is around 300-450$

If you re-use your existing DDR4. This would work.

However, you probably want to pick up a new PSU. And if you have room for an ATX board or want a new case that does, there is a little room in the budget.

If the PSU is as old as the 4770k then that should also be replaced. What size depends on the GPU you intend to use. (If no GPU, then we need to swap the 12600KF for a 12600K at the least or do an AMD APU build.

If you have said 3060, I would use it in what you have, assuming you have an adequate PSU, for now, and save up for a better rig.
