I listened to my fellow /g/uadalajarenses and pulled the trigger

It's still a fairly capable chip but it is showing its age. I have one and run it at 3.7 ghz most of the time as most games don't demand much more of it but newer games sometimes require higher clockspeeds of around 4+ ghz. If you got all of those parts for a good price it's not too bad, but the biggest thing is just more features like more sata 6 slots, pcie 3.0 and more usb3 ports on newer motherboards, as well as slightly better per clock performance, newer features and less power consumption. But as I said it's a solid chip still and with a decent cooler most will hit 4.4ghz or so no problem.

I will probably keep it around its stock clock, but I just like the option of being able to overclock.
I got the CPU for $85 and the RAM for $90. I feel that these are reasonable prices.
Lastly, I'm not much of a gamer, just an enthusiast building a desktop, so I think that it will hold up pretty well.

I still use my 2400 for gaymen and it holds up ok, the 2500k is the GOAT and $85 is a great deal

It's great, mine does 4ghz on stock voltages no problem, but since it's summer here I went back to stock and didn't find a significant decrease in games performance. Probably has been the best purchase of my life.

the 2500k isn't bad at all anon overclock it around 4ghz and you should be fine for 3 years

Could have gotten a new Pentium G4560 for 60$ and get the same performance.
If it's even available for around these prices in your corner of the world, that is.

Games require better processor and not higher clock speed, you dumb mongrel
Try to play anything modern with first gen i7 @ 4GHz
