4790K still worth it?

Currently I'm on a 8350, I was waiting for skylake to upgrade, but it's quite underwhemling.

So I was thinking of going with this instead

AS £360 is a cheaper upgrade as I don't need to add memory and can just reuse my genesis grey. With the x99 bundle currently available, 5820K setup would be anothe £110 and i7 skylake would be much the same, which is a bit of a stretch, but not impossible if really worth it.

I pretty much only game + stream to twitch.

I was hoping skylake would have made it easier, but with it's meh performance, it's a harder choice.
