I'm building a new budget system by upgrading certain components. ATM I have a q6600 B3 that can't overclock. an EVGA 680i 8gb of reapers @ 1066 and 1 8800 ultra.

I do intended on gaming, the witcher, Hunted the demon's forge, New Elder scrolls, New hitman and Diablo 3 whenever that comes out.

Planned because I can get them.

i5 2400 ($105) Used
EVGA GTX 460 Superclocked ($110)
Asus P8P67 Deluxe ( $116)
Kingston Hyperx 6gb 1600hrz ($85/ $35 after rebate)

At $105 price for the i5 2400 is it something I should jump at or should I wait save a bit more $ and go spend the extra $120 for an i5 2500k??

Is the system good? I'm just worried that I maybe rushing myself to jump at these because the prices seem good. I think I need assurance that I'm making a sound decision.
 
If you are willing to overclock then you should wait and save and get the 2500k otherwise the current processor would be fine.
Then also 1155 has a dual channel memory controller so you either need 4 GB of RAM or 8GB of RAM for optimum performance.
