Upgrade worth it?

I'm currently running 8gb Patriot Viper 3 Black Mamba 1600Mhz. It's in a Gigabyte Z87-OC board.

My question is, would an upgrade see any performance increase in benching or gaming?

No budget really, just common sense as in not spending £200 for 2fps.

No point imo for 2-3fps, not worth it.

Worth it for encoding videos etc..,higher the memory frequency, faster the encoding, but for gaming. god no... im still running 1600mhz stuff and play everything fine.

I wouldn't bother upgrading the MB unless you need to for a cpu upgrade or to increase your max memory limit.
