so i have had this cpu for a while and i have no issuies with it but will my pc become faster if i upgrade it to a newer model or just a 'K' model so i can overclock it?

The Haswell chips provide a slight increase in performance versus your chip. Getting the 3770K may allow you to get up to ~4.5ghz depending on your MB and cooling solution(lets not forget that all cpu's do not overclock alike). So yes, your pc can become faster, but you'll have to decide if it's worth the extra cash.

I'm running a 2500K oc'ed 24/7 to 4.5ghz and completely stable.(not ready to upgrade as the gains would be minimal in the programs I run)
