(I know you said cost aside but it's a pretty big jump to DDR4/DDR4 mobo)

5820k should give a few extra fps.

only problem with 5820k is it runs with ddr4 which can cost around 450 pounds for 16gb RAM
if you already own a quadcore and ddr3 memory, dont waste your money for higher stock components that run a bit cooler. Either overclock the conkers out of your current rig or make a Real step up and go hexcore + ddr4. If you don't have a quadcore and your on a budget, get the i5 4690k.

I presume this upgrade wouldn't be for yourself? Considering you already have a 4770k ?
But can be had for that divided by 3
That's silly. You CAN spend that, but as mentioned above can cost less than half that. There is absolutely no need to spend £450 on DDR4 lol!
