The i5 2500k has a IGPU, while the i5 2550k dont. The 2550k is clocked 100GHz more then the 2500k.
I believe that you could reach higher clocks at lower temps with the 2550k, do to it not having a IGPU.
Edit: Only get the 2550k if you have a dedicated GPU, and planning on pushing it far. If not, get the 2500k. Dont get me wrong, the 2500k is a beast, but like whats been said, you can get there with lower temps(possibly with lower voltage) with the 2550k.

2550K (like Raz said) is 100ghz more. 10$ more. without IGP http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115230&Tpk=2550k
My 2500K runs 24/7 at 4.8-42celsius, so still a beast. I think it just depends on what your preference is. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072&Tpk=2500k
