Definitely worth doing because of the performance increase from 2 to 4 cores. You will just need to make sure that you get a 6th gen i5 for compatibility. Sorry if you already knew that but you said it was your first build.

Upgrading to a 6th gen will need a Z170 board and DDR4 ram (for OP's reference).

I'm currently on Ivy Bridge (i5 3350P) and yep quite old haha. Waiting for Ryzen to unveil so I can choose between Ryzen or Kabylake i7 7700K.

My mistake, I didn't see that. If you find a new motherboard, just ask for one of us to check its compatibility first.

Thanks guys for the tips, but a 6th Gen i5 and a better motherboard(?) would probably push my budget higher than I'd like, so I will probably upgrade later on. Thanks again!
