I fell the CPU kinda hangging down low and if its possible maybe change the mobo at the same time, maybe a Intel CPU would be better. What games are you planning or do you play. If you don't play anything like BF or Witcher, Watch Dogs, The if, or really anything a little intensive then just get the PlayStation

The i7 4770k wouldn't be compatible with a 1155 motherboard.

As for your upgrades, it depends on your budget, and what you're trying to achieve.

The your cpu + gpu is still fine for most games right now, it would be better to change the motherboard to something better, but then you'd be holding on to the system longer.

If you're just gaming and you're going to upgrade your computer, go with a i5 4690k + z97 motherboard. It'll be faster, but I don't think it'll have a huge difference.

Haswell is LGA1150. Ivy and sandy bridge were 1155.

Why upgrade anyway?

If you just want more power for the future would i in this case go for cpu+motherboard and get a motherboard that's sli capable.By the time you wanted more graphical power could you upgrade the psu and gpu.
Which psu do you have?
