Is it worth going from i5 3570K to i5 6600K ?

Very simple question really...

Had this i5 3570K for 3-4 years now [OC 4.2Ghz]
[mobo: z77, ram: 8gb ddr3 1600, gfx: hd7950]

I was thinking of upgrading to an i5 6600K
[mobo: z170, ram: ddr4 2400~, keeping gfx untill new ones come out later this year?]

But is it really worth it for the £400~?

(Being honest the only thing i want it for really is more fps in CSGO@1920x1080)

Thanks for all the replies...

I play 1920x1080, all on low, and i get what fluctuates between 150 to 300 fps. On average I would say around 170-200 fps.
(i am very sensitive to frame rate changes, and yes that may seem silly but i can definitely feel the difference between 150fps and 250fps in game)

But its just doesnt feel "stable" enough if that makes any sense.

I want something that can run it 300 fps+ consistently for that "smooth" feeling.

Whenever i dump the resolution down to 1280x720 or 1024x768 black bars it has that "smooth" feeling, but i don't get that (consistently enough) at 1920x1080.

Would a newish £200-300 GPU even give me that "stability/smoothness" im after?

[I was under the impression the CPU was the most important part for CSGO, which is kind of why i posted in this subforum]

Why would another 8gb of ram help? And already using an SSD.

@Overlag: I use a 144hz monitor, i would never turn Vsync On, it causes mouse input delay. I could try fps_max 145 though.

@Dg: Worth upgrading GFX now? Newer ones coming out soon [~price drops?]? Will a 970 or 390 actually achieve the smooth/stability im after?

Okay, thanks everyone
