No, it's not worth it. A 9600kHz is significantly lower than 5GHz and won't provide noticeable benefits.

I've been experimenting with achieving 5GHz on my 9600k device. Currently I'm stable at around 4.7GHz and haven't noticed any issues. How much would the speed improvement be? Should I hold off until I can afford an upgrade? Your advice would be appreciated.

Results vary based on your graphics card and display settings. In short, if your game relies heavily on the GPU, gains will be minimal. Conversely, when your system struggles more with the CPU, you may notice a clearer increase in frames per second.

If it reaches stability, then it makes sense.
