I also did the same switch and am a lot happier for it, My 4770k was only good for 4.1 with voltage under water where as my 4790k sits at 4.5 without voltage under air and runs a good 10 + degrees cooler, My 4770k was the runt of it's litter. The 4770k also had features such as VT-X turned off which where turned back on for the 4790k, while they do not affect me as I use my rig primarily for gaming it would matter for others who where forced to take something like the 4770s instead of the first Haswell K's. And the best thing was that a 4770k was sellable on the secondhand market for only 40 odd quid less than new, A small loss I happily took considering the improvements the 4790k gave.
If they had released Skylake when planned instead of delaying it, Kaby would be a lot more impressive now. 
What's annoying is if you look back at various slides, articles etc Intel have all this crazy stuff in the lab they were supposed to have in the market by now, but with no competition they just keep pushing it forward.

Since Ice Lake is the next new architecture i wonder if it will be much different from Coffee Lake, never know what to expect now.

Thanks . well considering i'm on z77 and a 3770k and gaming at 4k this might just tempt me. and then tread water for the hopefully 1080ti but thats another story.
If the performance number and prices are true you would probably be better holding onto that 3770K until Zen or Coffee Lake.
8MB L3 cache is why is not much of an upgrade you can boost the clock speed as much as you want .Add fancy mega expensive DDR4 running at insane clock speeds but the L3 cache is the main thing which causes a huge boost & also the most expensive item to create after the CPU has been R&D'd!

with respect i'm not that sure, it's minimum frame rate thats killing me mate.
and who knows when these next gen stuff is coming out.
I've been holding out for the golden rainbow for about 2 years
Seems to offer a few percent more performance than Skylake.
Both CPUs were running at 4.2ghz according to the benchmark results

I see you have Titan X SLi, with these 2 cards in SLi seemed bottlenecked 3770K.
HardOCP Titan X SLi review benchmarked on 3770K, GTA V 4K 38fps min, 49.6fps avg and 71fps max.

TechpowerUP GTX 1080 SLi review benchmarked on 6770K, GTA V 4K 94.9fps avg.

6770K is much better for SLi than 3770K did.
Worth wait for 7700K and Zen SLi review soon to compare both which will have the best CPU for SLi.

thanks for taking the time to link that info , very interesting indeed.
Those links aren't worth taking much note of though. The settings used for one within game aren't the same. In fact, they won't even be close to being the same given the Ivybridge is also 300mhz higher per core. It's interesting as the comparison is so terrible

Dear goddess! That was the most sarcastic thing I've read in years. That's not just regular sarcasm, that's an opened two month old vinegarized bottle of caustic mock.
I could kill a rhino with that amount of venom.
