Change is not worth it, in my opinion. You'll be buying a new CPU (for ~$220) and a new motherboard (for ~$140) for a total of ~$360 plus the hassle of re-installing OS, drivers, etc. all for a ~10% gain in performance (http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-6600K-vs-Intel-Core-i5-6600/3503vs3514).

I'd keep the i5-6600 + B150M mobo as it is, as it already pairs nicely with that GTX 1060 you have.
