Not really to be honest.
Man of Honour
Not really although if you did it makes far more sense to go for Skylake rather than the EOL Haswell. Can't you get a better overclock from your 2600k? Most should hit 4.5Ghz easily enough.

Yep, as pasty suggests try pushing your overclock a bit higher. Your 2600k will be good for a while yet. Maybe use some of the cash and buy a better CPU cooler if needed.
You won't get more than ~100 MHz more out of it, if that.
Surprising but fair enough. Highly dependent on motherboard I guess.
Soldato
I would be looking at the rest of your system too, a slight CPU upgrade won't do much if you don't have the motherboard, ram and GPU to keep up.

if it was a really cheap upgrade to the 4790k then yea maybe but if its costing a lot I would look at skylake

Pick up a K chip off the MM, sell the old one.
