I think it depends on what resolution you're gaming at above all else really. If it's 1920 x 1080 I can't see the real gain in upgrading. I suppose you could sell your existing GPU and use the funds towards a faster one, but that's about it really.

Ye its at 1920x1080, so the new processors out etc now wouldnt be needed?

There is a performance gain going with haswell, but the hassle and cost against the performance gain isn't really worth it....

If you had Intel 1st gen then upgrading would make sense, but the 2500K is still a very good cpu, especially when overclocked.
