Im thinking of upgrading from AMD FX 8320 to i7 4770k

Is there significant difference so it would be worth buying new processor and mobo?

Or should I oc my 8320 to 4,5ghz to get more from it and forget about upgrading to Intel?

Im mainly browsing web and playing games, so rendering and that kind of stuff isnt important for me.

How much could I get more from 8320 with asrock 970 extreme4 mobo?

Im running this system with R9 280X crossfire & silverstone 1000W PSU

2GPUs so thats why 1000w psu

Cant really oc my cpu since it starts to throttle even tho all those settings are off in bios so i guess i just have shitty mobo for this setup
