Both are still decent. I’d say upgrading the GPU will have a more noticeable affect on more games than a CPU. If you aren’t already doing so I’d overclock your computer.

You could upgrade to a gtx 1070
The 4690k will have no issues with a 1070. It is equal to a 980ti/titan and they did not have any issues with the cpu.
look at these benchmarks for 4690k and gtx 1070:

comparing it to the i7 6700K

hmm is that PUBG?
I don't play that game but your i5 shouldn't bottleneck the 970
At least it doesnt seem to bottleneck the 1070
