6600k to 7700k worth a upgrade.

I have a gigabyte 170 sli motherboard with 2x 8 gb 2400 ram.
I built using a 6600k with 240mm artic freezer aio. I have it overclocked to 4.5 ghz
My gpu is a kfa 1080.
I game at 1080 or 4 k 60hz depending on the game and have a oculus rift which i use if the game supports it.
Play elite dangerous, dirt rally, eve online, doom and planet coaster.
I was wondering if i would see much of a gain just updating the cpu to a 7700k.
I only recently overclocked the 6600k from 4.1ghz to 4.5 ghz and was surprised at the speed difference it made to my system.
Would the 8700k and new motherboard be worth the extra 150 over the 7700k.
