I am not sure if it is worth it if you upgrade from sandy to haswell i5.. You save a bunch of cash if you use your old cpu and mobo it is not that much slower, less than 20%. You can use that extra cash to something like more hdd space maybe? Or something fun :D But if you have the money, then sure why not upgrade. Upgrading is always fun :D And I think that your old psu would still work well in this new build. These are just things that I would do, you decide :D
