Haswell to Skylake, would it be silly?

Just ordered a shiny new Asus ROG Swift PG279Q and a GTX 1070 to replace a 1080p monitor and GTX 970. This got me thinking about a new Skylake Motherboard, i7 and DDR4 to replace my Haswell Z97 Motherboad, 4790K and DDR3.

Would this be complete madness or a sound investment as I won't upgrading again for a couple of years?
 
Thought as much, got that itch for shiny!!!

Out of interest in FPS what do you think the difference would be between the two on something like Doom?
 
Thanks guys I got the message loud and clear!

I'm sticking with Haswell and ploughed the money in to 2 x Toshiba X300 6TB 128MB Cache Hard Disk Drive 6Gb/s 7200RPM, I was running out of room on my 3TB's and looked to be the best for the money.

Looking forward to the big upgrade Monday :)
