1) clock speed and Raw paper specs do not indicate real world performance, the 4770k is generally comparable to an r5 1500x, first gen quadcore ryzen, the 3700 demolishes it
2) processors don’t really fail unless you dump an insane amount of power through them, they don’t wear out. You can still buy used processors going back as far as processors have existed and they work fine and will continue to work fine. I have a 20 year old AMD K6-2 that had been running straight from 2000 clear into 2018 I got out of a CNC controller from my old job, works fine, and that’s not some rare example
For 4k in most games your 4770k honestly should still hold up if paired with an adequate gpu. I would suggest a gpu upgrade with the 4k monitor first to see how the games you play perform with the combo, and if you have cpu bottleneck issues then move to 3rd gen ryzen
