Instead of buying a whole new platform, I'd actually just find a used i7 3770 on Ebay.

If i had to choose, i'd get the 4790k. Cheaper, can be OC'ed.

 

That being said, if you can find a suitable cheap 3770, i'd just go with that.

 

Dont forget to consider a cooler. if you change socket your likely going to have to get a new cooler unless ur current one has the correct mounting hardware.
