3770K -> 4770K Upgrade?

I have been running on the now outdated 3770K and am looking for an affordable upgrade. I hear different things about the socket support for the 3770/4770K's.

So, if I was to upgrade to the 4770K would I have to also change my motherboard, or would the socket support the 4770K?

Not worth the 5-10% performance while having to also buy a new motherboard :/ and if you want something like m.2 SSDs then just get a PCI-e adapter :D 

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

Its not worth it. The upgrade is 5-10% and motherboards are getting kinda pricey for lga 1150. If you are looking for an upgrade I would wait for Kaby Lake because of some more features.

Yeah...LGA1150 motherboard being pricey...maybe we should try and find some new LGA1155 motherboards :D (h61 motherboards doesn't count)

Don't do it. 3770K can sometimes beat the 4770K. The very least it'll be a minute benefit. See here for comparison. You'd need a new mobo anyway so if you really have to upgrade from 3770K (it's old but usually more than enough for current gen gaming), go straight to 6700K or so.

Haswell just really isn't worth it now. It is missing quite a few features that sky/kaby lake have.

Indeed but my god...LGA1155 motherboards are more overpriced than a MSI x99 GODLIKE Edition...
