Haswell easy upgrade

Built a friend's PC with a 4570 and an Asus H81i-plus board. Eventually she'll need an upgrade, and I was considering a 4770S because of the lower power consumption and the quite favorable price tag on eBay these days. However, the all core turbo would need to be above the 4570's 3.4 GHz to still be good in lightly threaded games, and I can't seem to find that specific specification. It's gonna be cooled by an Intel stock cooler with a copper slug, which from my experience keeps a 4790S at 3.6 to 3.7 GHz. Would the 4770S be better than the 4570?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

That would be ideal. Promising figures given the super low base speed
