Hello everyone,
Currently i have a 4770k that I don't really use much anymore. I use my computer a lot but don't really take advantage of the 4770k, i rarely play games and haven't edited video's in a long time. When i purchased the 4770k i was a hardcore gamer, PC enthusiast and overclocker. However as time has gone on i use the computer less and less for what it was built for, now it's pretty much an internet browsing machine. What my question is, is that if i sold my 4770k, and bought a Pentium and overclocked it heaps (hopefully 4.5+) would i have massive performance loss across the board or will every day stuff still be snappy and fast due to my SSD and RAM. I know that obviously there'd be a bit, but im really curious to know how much.
Also, would you think for someone like me, it'd be worth it to make $250 and sell my 4770k?

EDIT: The main reason for considering it is due to making money. I am 16 and don't currently work and so getting some savings started for a first car and stuff is important.
