I think so, for folding you can run -bigadv units for a big gain in points. Depends on your wants / needs really. For gaming a 2500K would be adequate in most, if your doing a lot of video and other thread intensive apps the 2600k is worth it.

Its mostly for gaming and Blu-ray ripping/encoding.
either one will be a significant boost over your Core2, the 2600K would be better but the 2500K would be a good choice as well. Really comes down to your budget and wants then. If the ~100 bucks saved can get you into a better GPU or something along those lines then the 2500K would be a good choice.

2500K @ 4.7 gets 18,000 ppd
2600K @ 4.7 gets 35,000 to 59,500 ppd depending on the WU.

HT is gonna make a nice improvement on anything that makes optimal use of SMP.
OH, and temps are old news.. I'm running 4.6 with 1.35v now loaded.. temps stay around 70-72 depending on ambient, but mine usually runs higher.. like 24-26ish ambient.
plus now i got a RX360 Rasa kit coming anyway!
