I'm looking at upgrading my current CPU which is the Intel Core i7-4770 CPU 3.40 GHz. My friend that helped build my PC has passed, and I'm not the most informed when it comes to computers. I see they don't sell my motherboard anymore, would it be worth upgrading that too? My only complaint with my current PC is that CPU can get rather high at 50-75%. I wouldn't know where to begin with re-building a PC, but reinstalling the CPU doesn't seem hard.

CPU i'm looking at getting:
Intel Core i7-9700K Desktop Processor 8 Cores up to 4.9 GHz Turbo Unlocked LGA1151 300 Series 95W

Current motherboard:
Gigabyte Z87 LGA 1150 BigFoot LAN Micro ATX Motherboard (GA-G1.SNIPER M5)

Solution
Upgrading to any modern cpu will require both a new motherboard but also DDR4 RAM. Your 4770 was amount the best cpu's supported by your motherboard and DDR3 RAM.
