From the information you have given us your 2500K is fine, go with a GPU upgrade.

Unless your using applications that will benefit from the extra threads, stick with your i5 sir! If you want more juice overclock it, but go for the 780!

as said above what do you need it for?

 

for most applications a 2500K is plenty,so I'd go with the GTX 780.
