It depends on your needs and budget. The Z170 offers value, but confirm if it meets your requirements before deciding.

Hey all, so at the moment i am running an i5 4460 and an Evga 1070sc. I have a PG248Q from Asus and I've really been set on buying either the ROG 34in or the x34 but lately i've been thinking that maybe i should just upgrade to the newest platform. I play alot of WoW which is more of a CPU intensive game and get anywhere from 45-60 fps in major cities filled with people. In raids i get around 60-75 but i also play alot of other games as well and waiting for star citizen to release. Would jumping up to a i7-6700k and ddr4 be a better upgrade to what i have now?
Don't go after the upgrade. Consider getting an Xeon E-1231 if your motherboard allows it for a stronger processor.
For a Z97, upgrade to a used 4790k overclock near 4.5-4.7ghz. It will cost much less than a new 6700k with fresh RAM and a new motherboard, and you'll be close to the performance of the newer model.
