Thinking of upgrading my system from i5 2500K @ 4.2 (currently) to 4690K

My current specs are:

120gb SSD
3tb WD Black
Z77 D3H
R9 290X
16gb Ram
i5 2500K

Is it worth shelling out for a new mobo and CPU?
 
Even then, not much of an upgrade for the money. You will not see any real improvement in games :/

I'd wait until the next gen and see how that is tbh. Unless you want to go up to i7 or an X99 chip. Plus it's quite likely that dx12 will give old kit even more life.
