2500k to Haswell >>

This sounds like the most sensible plan.
well it looks like i will be doing the same by the looks of things and keeping my I5 2500k.. shame really was expecting more from the haswell chips but even some of the benchmarks i have seen are showing the I7 3770K was just as quick or even quicker in some tests. Think i will get a new GPU,SSD maybe watercool my system and possible new case dont see the point to upgrade as mine is running nicely at 4.6
totally agree with you mate
That is the way to go.
An SSD upgrade will give a big improvement in actual user experience (your PC will feel much faster).
You mentioned that you didn't fancy re-installing Windows (I would take it as an opportunioty to do a "spring clean", but I can understand that it may be a bit daunting and time consuming). There is a fairly easy way to avoid doing a re-install, use Easeus Todo Backup Free or Macrium Reflect.
As far as Haswell goes, I'm sticking with my 2500K (which I chose over the Ivybridge version, which offered very little performance increase and cost a fair bit more at the time). Unless you really want/need the best performance, I see no point in upgrading from a perfectly good CPU.
