I am about to upgrade my CPU from i5 760 to i7-4770K. Will need to upgrade my motherboard too.

As for graph card, I have GTX 570
For the full reference;

EVGA GeForce GTX 570 HD Superclocked 1280 MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 2DVI/HDMI/Display Port SLI Ready Graphics Card, 012-P3-1573-KR
Bought from;
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004O6MOC8/ref=oh_deta...

Do I really need to upgrade my Graph card as well?

I've been checking Neverwinter benchmarks from the site from this link;
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/neverwinter-perform...

Since according to this hierarcy chart;

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-car...

GTX 570 is on the same tier with GTX 650 ti, and benchmark results were pretty satisfactory.

I dont know if I am reading wrong though because same cards selling in various models in various prices, and I am not an expert, just dont want to be confused.

Thanks in advance.

Just for the reference;

I will use 64 bit W8.
Have 8 GB 1600mhz DDR3 ram (which I will add 8 more.)
64 GB SSD for the OS and game.

Thanks in advance.

The 570 is still a good card, I don't see why you would need to upgrade it. It's on the same tier as the 650ti boost which is more powerful than the regular 650ti.

I believe the rule of thumb is a good upgrade is 3 tiers up. So to get something super noticeable for you would be to get a amd hd7970 or gtx 770

570 is a strong card..
This puppy still can play almost all game at highest setting at satisfy frames rate (>40Fps) in 1080p.

So, i think you can keep using your card at least for one more years..
