Worthwhile?

You would need to replace the motherboard as well....if you are gaming then honestly no. Performance increase vs cost would not be worth it imo.

EDIT:

To build on that, most socket 2011 motherboards cost £150+.
 
May have a tinker at uping the RAM when i get home later.

Was just looking at the i7 3770k...looks like a nice chip.
 
As above stick with what youve got, yes clock for clock a 3770 will be about 10% faster than a 2500. It doesnt say in your sig what youve clocked it to but as your under water im guessing 4.5+ at best on a 3770k your looking at matching the clock on your sb. Is 250 quid really worth 10% when your probably not fully using what youve already got?
