Your question isn't so unique that only owners would really know, if you researched either socket or processors, you would know that:

1. Since programs are not written to take as many cores as you have, a 6-core from the same architecture may not make much difference compared to a quad. 
2. Since Ivy Bridge is the same architecture as Sandy Bridge just shrunk down, the only real changes Intel made were to the integrated GPU, improved media encoding and office applications. 
3. Overclockers will like the shrink, it will mean less temps and less voltage for the same overclock as the 32nm parts; but Ivy performs around 10% better in games.

Was planning on upgrading to 3770k for lower temps overclocking and 2xpcie 3.0 x16 for the new gen of graphics cards.

3770K still has the same 16 total lanes, meaning you can't ever have 2x x16's which is 32 lanes.  If you want more lanes, X79 is the only option and sadly 22nm CPUs won't show up there for at least a year, if at all. 
 
Just so you know, those PLX chips that act like nF200 for PCIe 3.0 don't magically create more lanes.  No matter what, any LGA1155 setup only has 16 lanes to work with, 32nm has 2.0 while 22nm has 3.0.
 
As for the current generation of graphics, while many come off as let down because they didn't respect rumors for what they were-- don't judge reference frequency performance because we are mainly overclockers, trust me, it isn't a big deal .  Every year I've seen this 'doom and gloom' bandwagon group that vanishes once the product finally comes.  There were people that threatened to go to AMD when they learned Intel was locking out all but two Sandy Bridge processors.  Where are they now?  They are either 2500K or 2600K owners.  Same thing will happen with GTX680, most of those who complain will put their foots in their mouths because GTX680 will overclock well.
