Not really, they would probably be about the same effective speed. You do gain about 10% performance going from 3rd gen to 4th gen chips.

What is this attempt with overclocking the locked processors? If you are interested shell out the extra 50 bucks for the K series and run it at 4 something Ghz.

Now there are a few vendors that have revealed that you can overclock a K series processor on a select few H87 and B85 motherboards, which would save you about $50. I laid out some options below, but to overclock you pretty much need a K series chip.

Z77 + 3570k + a decent cooler(hyper evo 212) = $370
Z87 + 4670k + a good cooler (noctua NH-D14)= $450
Z87 + 4430 = $325
H87 + 4430 = $270

The i5-4430 will have a locked multiplier. The best you could do is force the turbo mode on at all times. The stock cooler may not be adequate to doing that continuously under load.

For proper over-clocking you will need an i5-4670k and a decent heatsink. Your motherboard is already the overclocking type.
