Worth is something only YOU can determine.
A i7-2600K and a G4560 will perform similarly in most games.
The lga1151 motherboard used by the G4560 will allow a future cpu upgrade to as strong as a I7-7700K.
My take is to go with current tech.
And... if you ever want 16gb, buy your 2 x 8gb kit up front.
Adding ram later is not guaranteed to work.
Ram vendors, for good reasons, do not support ram not from the same kit.

G4560 is similar to the 2500K at stock clocks and the I3-6100. The 2600K adds 100 MHz, 2MB cache and hyperthreading to the 2500K.

8GB is the winner, though 16GB is nice to have.

There is a possibility that the b250 will be able to use the new 1151 6 core 12 thread coffeelake cpu, though not confirmed. An I7-7700 4 core 8 thread cpu will be a lot easier to find in a year or two when you need more power. You'd have to overclock the 2600K with a decent cooler and if something happens to the motherboard you have no warranty. If more power is needed you have to update again.
If this is a gaming PC go with the g4560, b250 with 4 ram slots, and ddr4 2400MHz. No overclocking on the new board. Save $30 every other week for a year or two, drop in a locked I7 and next generation nvidia 11 or 12 series and double the ram.
