I can get a used i7 2700K along with an Asus P8Z68 and 16 Gigs of Vengeance RAM for 270€ (~316$), is it worth it? If not then whats the ideal price for that bundle?

not sure what your usage is or how the i7 2700k compares, but to give you pricing for modern parts as a comparison, a ryzen 5 or skylake i5 with basic mobo's and 16gb of ddr4 ram woudl run you around 380 (180-190 cpu, 70-80 mobo, 115 ram)

Currently im running a Quad Core Q9450 on an Asus P5Q Deluxe with a 650Ti and 8 Gigs of DDR2, so the hardware i mentioned before is definitely an improvement, im wondering though if getting an r5 with just 8 GB of RAM will give me better performance for some dollars more.

sorry for the delayed response. I think i would personally get the newer system. 8gb would put you at about the same price point as the 2700k build. I just cant really recommend buying a system 6 years old. i think the newer system would give you a better backbone to work with for the next few years.

you can research it too but i THOUGHT i read that the socket will be the same for the next few generations of AMD cpu's so you should be able to upgrade the CPU again in a few years if you wanted withouth replacing the mobo
