Your next setup has some things to discuss

1) You want to make economy on the motherboard. This is one of the most important parts and must be the expensive one. Your thinking should be, 180$ must be the minimum to pay, not the maximum.

2) You want to buy a cpu that can be easily overclocked, meaning you want to have at some point a closed water cooling system meaning again that the motherboard must be a very very good one and able to dissipate the heat from it's components.

3)Now if you don't intend to overclock just go to a non-overclockable cpu and buy again a more expensive motherboard.

also, if you want to throw so much money on a new pc, i also strongly suggest a very good UPS to protect your investment from power spikes.

first of all dont spent the extra money on i7 get the i5 4690k in gaming they will serve u equally........get a 1600 mhz of 2x4 gb ram in a pair......for the motherboard get a z97 chipset board ......here is a link u can search it in your local website and check out the prices......http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GA-Z97X-GAMING-Gaming-Networking-Motherboard/dp/B00JKCHDEU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1408439721&sr=8-2&keywords=z97
or
http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Z97-A-DDR3-2600-Motherboards/dp/B00K2MAU5Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408439721&sr=8-1&keywords=z97

you have not mentioned about any psu or cpu cooler so let me tell that u would need a good 600 watt psu with more than 42 amp @12+ volt on single rail........and if u oc the processor then definitely get an aftermarket cooler(hyper 212 evo cheap yet good)......& i will personally keep the oc to a moderate level and get an air cooler instead of water..... water cooler creates lot of troubles when it starts to age and there is always a danger of leakage which is harmful for other parts of the pc......

no you cannot go with your previous motherboard z77 board have lga 1155 socket and will not match with your new processor......
you can oc the 4770k to 4.4 - 4.5 ghz safety.......
& i dont think there is a blue and black combination of gigabyte board but if u want that combo then msi have one .....http://www.amazon.com/MSI-Motherboards-Z97S-SLI-PLUS/dp/B00K23BY6O/ref=sr_1_38?ie=UTF8&qid=1408526928&sr=8-38&keywords=z97+motherboard+gigabyte

No. No. No.

I'm with a 100$ motherboard on my I7 4790k. It's getting me up to 4.8ghz and possibly higher. I have all features I want. Now tell me a single reason why I should have spent $1 more on my motherboard.

Ohwell, please don't come with the 0-2% stronger performance on the same clock I would get with a $350 motherboard.

@prit87
Because any other name brand does manufactur just as well boards in the lower price cathegory?
I picked my board for $100. An asus equivalent would have costed $180. If it's worth to you then sure, go ahead. I'd recommend getting the board you can get the relatively best performance/price deal on.
