Is 80 degrees Celsius an acceptable temp for 4770k?

80 degrees should be fine. High 70s, are usually considered the ceiling for reliability, but most people say that if you don't go over 90, your CPU will run well and have a long and happy life. Not constantly, mind - at full load.
What voltage and clock are you getting 80 degrees at may I ask (and with which cooler)?

Well I just wondered since I have plans on over clocking.
currently it's only 50 degrees at full load on 3.7 Ghz.
Cooler is: Noctua NH-d14 with AS5 paste.
I just wanted to know if there was a temp I shouldn't exceed.
Well, with the haswells its not too bad if you do put too much voltage in, since it will throttle itself back to stay at 100 degrees. But you want to catch that quickly, and reduce the voltages if it does happen.
By load, do you mean a game, or prime 95/ Intel burn test?
50 on full load at 3.7 is very good for that chip, I have the same one and it runs embarrassingly hot.

Well, Intel burn test is slightly hotter than the others for me.
But when I play games, the temps never exceeds 50 degrees Celsius.
in Intel burn test, I got 56 degrees Celsius. It doesn't matter for how long I play the most CPU demanding games, the temps never exceeds 50.

Oh, I know. But I mean, since the CPU never exceeds 50 degrees while gaming. Shouldn't I just go for what the game temps are?
Example, OC 4.6 Ghz. V-core 1.25~.
Max game temp: 72 degrees
Max P95 temp: 86.
If the temps never go any higher than 72 in game. I shouldn't worry. Am I right?
Yeah, none of those temps are too bad really.
All I meant was, if your games are running at 80 and p95 was getting to 100 and was throttling back, that would be less than advantageous. It is different for me though, at stock clock my games don't really get far over 40 degrees, which seems good. But I do computational fluid dynamic sims on my rig, which see temps as high as 70 (at stock with a H100i water cooler!).
But the OC you have there seems pretty good, go for it.
