Should I upgrade from i7-950 to i7-3930k?

Hello,

I have the opportunity to buy a complete system for €350 in order to replace my current system. My question is whether it is worth it or not.

Details of the current setup:
i7-950 @3.33Ghz
8 GB RAM Triple Channel
500 GB SSD
1 TB 7200 rpm
GTX 1060 6GB

System I am considering buying (used):
i7-3930k
24 GB RAM Quad channel
250 GB SSD + 2 TB
GTX 780

Obviously, I would like to merge both and have:
i7-3930k
25 GB RAM
500 GB SSD + 2 TB
1060 6GB

Do you think:
1) this is worthwile?
2) how much could I obtain by selling the used parts (250 GB SSD, 1 TB HD, GTX 780)


Important note:
I use my system for more than gaming (I often need to run simulations that require several cores of my machines), hence my decision to consider a 6C/12T and 24GB RAM rather than 4C/8T and 8GB RAM.

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Thanks for your reply. Also, how likely is it that the CPU and GPU have been badly used? Is there some way to see that? The guy told me that it hadn't been used for mining, for instance.
