Is the 4770k worth the extra money for overclocking, considering I'll have the GIGABYTE G1.Sniper Z87 as a motherboard? Will the mobo even be able the handle some overclocking?

Thanks!

The 4770 can hardly overclock. The 4770k is unlocked so you can change the multiplier freely to overclock - since you're getting a Z87 motherboard definitely get the k version.
