Yes

I only got the 2500K as a stop-gap.

I am hoping that with improved IPC, higher clocks and hyperthreading, I will be able to get the chip closer to 5.5GHz, which will mean the CPU should be at least 50% faster in many situations.

Of course, my hopes could very well be smashed into pulp when I get one, but hey ho :)
 
No, I-5 2500k more than good enough.

I'll skip this generation, but may get a better GFX card (6970 not as good as I'd have hoped for the price).
 
Nope, still got an i7 930 which handles anything I throw at it.

In fairness I can bet the majority of people buying one will already have a system powerful enough to cope with the tasks they use it for.
 
I was going to but its just gonna be a lower powered sandy with a better IGP, ill wait for haswell or maybe a mainstream hexacore.
