Is it worth upgrading?

The Xeon will likely run cooler than the i3, they are engineered for that. I cant speak for the compatibility. Specs look nice though. If you want to upgrade the cooler maybe a Cryorig C7?

I'm thinking on getting a Intel® Xeon® Processor E3-1270 v2, its refurbished (anything wrong with getting refurbished?)

also, its 69w, would you think I'd have heat problems? 

Refurbished processors are fine most of the time.  The rest of the PC will waste away while the CPU remains the only working part. Xeons especially.
