Yes $30 is definitely worth it. But if you want it to last for 5 years, you'll have to put the graphics level down to low eventually. I would recommend spending a little more and get the i5 4670k.

You will be able to overclock it in a few years to get a little more juice. If you do that though you'll need a aftermarket cooler. Cooler master do a good one for about £25 here

Yes.

For the difference in chipsets,

A quote

The Z87 chipset is the most feature-rich chipset and is the only one to offer full CPU overclocking for supported (K-series) processors.
