I was thinking about upgrading my CPU, and I wondered whether it was worth it to change my h61 Chipset motherboard to one with a 4th gen compatible chipset so that I could upgrade my processor. Is there a large gaming difference? What is the price difference?

Upgrading from Ivy Bridge to Haswell does not improve much performance in general.

What is your current spec, it might not be necessary to upgrade.

I recommend i5-3470 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0087EVHVW
H61 isn't meant for overclocking so it won't worth the extra money for that K CPU. In addition, I don't recommend a new motherboard and a new CPU as Haswell does not improve a lot of performance comparing to Ivy Bridge.
