2500k upgrade worth it?

Currently have an i5 2300 at 3.4 ghz. My brother is going to microcenter soon to buy a 2500k, and I'm wondering if it would be worth it to upgrade. I don't know how much I could sell my 2300 for, but I'm thinking no more than a $50 upgrade. I also already have a hyper 212 cooler not being used atm so I'm thinking an overclock over 4.5ghz.
 
It might be if you enjoy overclocking. Personally Id say no but if youve got 2 bills youre wanting to spend it could be. You can always sell your 2300 and make up some of the difference. If youre not an avid overclocker then I say dont bother.
 
your brother probably saw the $149 i5 2500k deal thats only available today. At that price, I'd upgrade even if i didnt need it.
 
Do you have any real need for it?.... probably not.

Who knows what the next-gen will bring. Start saving! :)
 
All i know a 2600K or 2500K @ 4ghz Plus is more then enough for gaming coupled with the right vid card.
 
So I guess I really don't need it. I'll just sell my cooler to my brother when he gets his cpu then.
