I currently have the above setup and am playing Verdun, Insurgency, Day of Infamy etc with a little bit of stutter. I use a PS4 for bigger titles like BF1 and GTAV. I am considering an i7-6700k, but would that improve current gaming performance and allow me to play bigger titles? I also intend to slowly upgrade the system piece-by-piece over the years. This is my first build and was completed in July 2016, and this would be the first upgrade.

What chipset your MoBo is? H110, B150, H170 or Z170?

i7-6700(K) is more for a workstation build and server environment than for gaming. For gaming i5-6600(K) will suit better (it's also cheaper than i7-6700(K)).
