Minor improvements, mostly minimum frame rates.
You'd definitely see a performance hit in other areas however, losing two physical cores.

When it comes to FPS, you will see nothing. Honestly now point of changing 3rd gen high-end CPU for a 6th gen low-end i7, not just low-end but the first batch of skylake.

But what FPS are you getting with that Titan X and 3930k? Even at Ultra/1440p, you should have well over 60 fps in any game, really.

You can't get a cpu which will outperform yours in games, I mean you could go for 6700k but you would gain nothing. if you want more FPS, get a 2nd GPU and go sli, else no point, it will be wasted money.
It depends on the games, because for example, some games like H1Z1 if I am around buildings I can drop to like 45 frames for some reason and I have a 144hz monitor and I want to take advantage of higher frames. and I just get this feeling that my 3.2Ghz processor is the problem when it comes to random games that are not to GPU intensive.

5930K best possible under $600. Though it seems unnecessary imho, but if you can afford to do it, why the hell not I suppose.

You're running it at stock?
I mostly take my last post.
OC that puppy, you'll see a difference in FPS. You really don't need a new CPU.
EDIT: As said already, the biggest increase in frames would be from another GPU.

your I7 is unlocked, thus the K at the end of the name. Why is it still at 3.2? Get a good aftermarket liquid cooler for 80-100 bucks and OC that CPU to 4-4.5Ghz man! Same thing with that GPU, OC that Beast the Titan X is!
The thing is the highest I could get my cpu to OC was 3.8 GHz and then it would fail but i dont really know how to overclock it perfectly. I just used bios. because im new to overclocking. And i dont know how to properly overclock my titan x either.

I don't have much experience overclocking CPU's, especially intel CPUs, so I suggest you make a new post and search for existing guides. Make sure you have a good aftermarket cooler.
As for the GPU, https://gaming.msi.com/features/afterburner Download MSI Afterburner, crank the power target to 120, make a custom fan profile to keep it nice and cool, use benchmarks like Unigine Heaven/Kombustor(Kombustor should come with Afterburner) and other games to test stability, and increase clockspeed until you can't run a set of benchmarks/games. at this point you increase the Voltage(mV) a little bit, and see if that makes it so you can run the benchmarks, repeating this process until you hit a thermal/power/chip limit. Do the same for the memory clock.
