You have a pretty good setup; don't know if it's worth it to change. But you may be able to get around $250 for your old board/cpu.

Here is one benchmark between the 960 and 3770k: http://compare-processors.com/rank/all.php?Core+i7-3770.... There should be more. Just do a search.

thanksbut you didn't answer my second question.
do you recommend upgrading my processor? because when i asked around they told me there's no processor with a big change in speed from mine when installing it in my PC.
You need to look into overclocking.
Good luck.
