Is a 4770K still good?

The 4770k is still a great cpu when overclocked but some of the new games are very cpu intensive. Depends on what games you play really. Best way I found to see if the upgrade was worth it is check out YouTube for someone on a newer build but same GPU as you and see what fps they get.
