It depends on what project you want to work on, but generally, yes, it's very worthwhile. Especially if you overclock!
Ken, iirc you know a lot about DC. Is it okay to keep the computer in a hot room? It stays reasonably cool but certain days ambient will be in the 90s.
Mostly it depends on the person and their economic situation. Everybody is different!Is a 2500K with no graphics card going to be good enough to add?
Agreed with Gleem. My Q9550 and 1055T still crank out some decent PPD despite being 3-4 years old. A 2500K will definitely make a great showing in most, if not all, DC projects.
