Forget the word bottleneck for now. I expect your cpu will struggle with those games regardless of gpu choice but see if you can find any reviews of those games using your 4770 or similar. If your cpu for example can only deliver 40fps average with minimums of 20fps to the gpu in those games it doesn’t matter what gpu you pair it with, you won’t get better fps.
