Is the i5 2500k still good enough in 2016

[The Frozen One]

I've been using the i5 since 2012, and it's been a beast so far. It's over clocked to its fullest capabilities at 4.5.

But I'm not sure if I should upgrade or not

I'm eyeing the i5 6600k. But if I buy that, im going to need a new mobo. My mobo is weak right now, but it's working good as well. No complaints.

I'm using r7 2xx as a graphics card . It's outdated for sure . Should I buy the Rx 270 and a SSD or just build a new PC?

Overclocked the 2500K is still a beast, but I hope you don't plan to play VR with it.

I would actually wait it out at this point for Kaby Lake or even Cannonlake. Grab a stronger GPU...maybe a GTX 1070.

I'm still using an AMD Athlon X64 3200. I can run Undertale at max settings, 4K.
