Hey, I am currently building a new Gaming PC and I was wondering whether I should go for the 4770k or invest the extra money and go for the 4790k? Is there a noticeable performance boost for the 4790k or should I save the extra money?

The difference is small. The last one is a Haswell refresh Devil's Canyon. I would go with the 4790k as it sports a better TIM and some little voltage improvements, but only if the price difference is not big. Overall performance is really really close.
