try replacing your CMOS battery before anything, then check for blown capacitors on the motherboard (or bulging), Alot of times ppl mistake a dead CMOS batter for a dead motherboard, if you dont hear any beeps its more then likely the Motherboard then the CPU,
The I7-2500k is a really really nice CPU and its upgrade over your current will astound you, in any chance your mobo/cpu is still good i would still advise you to upgrade anyways, some great games coming out soon
