If you haven't purchased anything then you should get a 4670k instead of 4770k because there's is no performance improvement with 4770k wrt 4670k while playing games.
However if you run a lot of multi threaded applications like 3D rendering, along with games then 4770k is worth having.

While 760 is enough for 1600*900 resolution but getting a 770 would make your build ready for 1080p and future gaming for at least a few years..... ultimately its your call.

Why don't you take i5-4670k CPU and save some bucks and get a GTX 770 GPU instead?
With a 770 you will be able to play any game in ultra at 60+ FPS
i7-4770k doesn't perform better in games than an i5-4670k.

<Edit> Sorry I overlooked. You've already purchased 4770k. Still if you can manage a GTX 770 it will be much better <Edit>

Oh that was a mistake on my behalf. I haven't purchased any of the parts yet! So should I just get a 4670k instead?

Yes, in gaming there's barely anything noticeable between and i5 and a i7 processor. The 760 at the moment is more than enough for playing any games at 1600x900 gaming. Honestly it's up to you, seeing as how the i7 is merely 30-50$ more. But either way whichever route you go. You'll get 60fps at ultra at that resolution.

If you intend to get a 1080p monitor in the future which I suggest, because even playing at high settings on 1080p looks better than ultra on 1600x900 res. Then I suggest you go with the i5 and better graphics card.
