I was thinking of a new GPU and is it that much of a difference if i use a standard cooler compared to an aftermarket one?

So you won't be going Xfire then, just replacing the 7850 with a 9***/8** in the future?

Yes, the Dark rock cooler is a lot quieter and effective than the stock one.

What's the performance like between the 4670k and the ~~4770k~~

EDIT: Dumb mistake that. My bad, thought it said there was a 4770k i5.
I meant the performance between the i5 4670 and the i5 4670K?

Not much until you overclock the 'K'..

The 'non-K' doesn't overclock as well as the 'K' due to the 'K' having a unlocked multiplier.

So they 4670 will get to 3.8 (on turbo)

but the 4670k will reach 4.5-4.7

Thanks for the clarification

Worth the extra for a K in my opinion.
