if you currently have a i5 2310 then a i5 6600 would not be compatible with your motherboard
plus it would be cheaper to simply get the i7 + an aftermarket cpu cooler
if you dont know what motherboard you have run this
http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
it will tell you what you have under the "mainboard" tab

Assuming your CPU temperature is 96C, it might be throttling.
this CPU running on it's full clock of 3.2GHz is good pair to GTX 1070 for 1440p or higher res monitor.
There is no at all to very little benefit to upgrade it to other i5 as the perfromance difference between 2nd and 6/th gen CPUs for gaming on the same clock is about 10%.
Anyway, what you call "bottleneck" (which technically incorrect) is described as 100% usage (not 80) on one component, while other is much less than 100%.
The information about the app/game you are using would be also helpful.
Start with fixing the CPU temperature:
* clean the heat sinks
* make sure you have enough airflow in the case
* re apply thermal paste.

n0ns3ns3 :
The difference for GAMING ON THE SAME CLOCK is next to none between 3rd and 7th gen.
a bit more (~10%).
The difference comes mostly from increased clock speed and almost none from IPC.
do the homework

5 - 10% per gen, equal clocks
there are hundreds of benchmarks, >.> from any website you want
just look at cpu release comparisons vs previous gen
I'm stunned you are posting this misinformation, are you serious???

i'm stunned that you can't find the difference between bechmarks and games.
Guess this one (with pictures) will fix it

FROM THAT VIDEO
Arma 3 is a good choice, VERY cpu bound we want to compare cpu not gpu
all at 4ghz, lets see the gains
i5 2500k min 65, avg 71
i5 3570k min 71, avg 80
i5 4690k min 84, avg 92
run the math and tell me the % gains from a 2500 to a 4690...
Fallout 4 is another very cpu bound game, both cpu at 4ghz
i5 2500k min 40, avg 46
i5 4690k min 48, avg 55
run the numbers, % gain?
XD
Quite hilarious, look at gta5

I see ... you feel that you have to "be right".
for you, there is a conclusion - 14% difference on average between 2500K and 6600K in CPU intensive titles. it's ~ 14 FPS with 100FPS avg and 7-8 at 60FPS. this will definitely solve the OP problem for JUST 350-400$ (sarcasm). Really, HUGE achievement in interpreting the test results
And of course the fact that there is no difference in less CPU intensive titles should be ignored.
Arma 3 is of course is an excellent example. It should be presented to every computer science student as example of "bad codding - don't do it". It is also important since there is about almost no one plays it.
On a serious note, 94C CPU temperature is a real problem that should be addressed first.
Than, the OP can decide if he really needs an upgrade.
he does not need one for anything but 1080p@144Hz (or higher refresh rate) monitor.

no I dont have to be right
YOU are wrong in your statements, as I have shown
do the math again, and this time do it properly
an i7 compatible with his motherboard is not going to cost 350 - 400... Are you kidding???
I am interpreting NOTHING, I showed the fps from the video YOU posted
yes gpu bound games should be ignored, we are comparing CPUS are you mental? XD
arma 3 is a good tool for comparing cpus since you know, IT IS CPU INTENSIVE
does no one play gta5 or fallout 4??? XD
Let me do the math for you since you are going to try to dodge the FACTS
arma 3
i5 2500k min 65, avg 71
i5 4690k min 84, avg 92
i5 4690k min ~29% gain, average ~29% gain
fallout 4
i5 2500k min 40, avg 46
i5 4690k min 48, avg 55
i5 4690k min gain ~20%, avg gain ~19%
GTA5
i5 2500k min 77, avg 87
i5 4690k min 91, avg 102
i5 4690k min gain ~18%, avg gain ~17%
