Im having trouble getting my system to hold a consistent 120fps at 1080p on higher settings,  especially in newer games with some dropping down near 80. Right now im running a i7 3770k @ 3.5GHz and a gtx 1070. Would upgrading the cpu to a 7700k/8700k give any noticeable improvements to the framerate.

Edit: im running with a 1080p 144hz gsync monitor

That would work, although a CPU overclock may help as well.

 

I have a friend that's been running his 3770K at 4.4Ghz since he got it(back when it was new) and he hasn't needed to upgrade yet.

I agree, that the 3770k could use an overclock and then you probably won't need a new cpu.
