I have an i5-3570k processor for about 6 months now, with the new GTX 780 and Haswell generation processors out. I will plan to upgrade to a GTX 780 from my current GTX 650 (budget card because I'm new to PC gaming).

Would upgrading to an i5-4670k or i7-4770k be worth it? I can't really research since I have so little time.

If upgrading the processor is worth it, then would the i5-4670k or the i7-4770k be the better choice?

My main use of the GTX 780 (for sure) and possible processor upgrades: Gaming on maximum graphics, games I cannot max out are Age of Wushu, APB Reloaded, Blacklight Retribution, Borderlands 2, and Neverwinter. And of course, college work, editing Sony Vegas and using Photoshop CS5.

If you have SB/IB then HW is not enough of a performance jump to justify it. I think Broadwell/Sky Lake will be the better choice due to platform upgrades

Of course if AMD would compete a bit more we may have seen it perform differently.

Allright, thanks for all the answers. Best answer goes to the person with the most specific details. I'll just upgrade to a GTX 780 and hope there's no bottlenecks.

Bro you shouldn't even be worrying about any bottlenecks with a 3570k. So don't even bother hoping there is none and save all that hope for something else; like hoping your wife doesn't kill you after she sees a sink full of dishes while your playing at your PC all damn day Lol.

Seriously bro you could get a GTX Titan and not have to worry about a bottleneck.
