so i'm looking at getting a 4770k because my motherboard for my FX 6350 died. I have a less powerful PC that has a G3258 so i figured i'd just replace that CPU with the i7. but ive been thinking and since its like 2 generations old, is it worth getting? how long will it still be adequate for gaming? or should i invest in a new generation build also since DDR4 is becoming mainstream? please help me :(

i also don't want to just replace my motherboard because im kind of done with AMD CPUs at this point. Intel has some great technology and less power, heat, etc.
