Worth the upgrade from i5 6600k to i7 6700k?

[Chriexpe]

Considering that I can sell my i5 6600k for ~$170 I would pay more $70 bucks for a new i7 6700k from Aliexpress (I won't be buying those ES) because here in my country even used ones cost more. Or like, is the upgrade even worth it?

I have a Z170-P with GTX970 and 16GB 2133mhz (2x8GB), in some new games (like Metro Exodus, BF1 and BFV) my CPU was bottlenecking, so I wonder if upgrading it will solve at some extent the problems, or I should hold a bit more and buy basically a new computer (Ryzen CPU, faster RAM, motherboard and GPU...) on black friday?

Just wait for Ryzen 4000/buy Ryzen 3000 later, where can you sell an i5 for that much...

I really doubt you'd be getting a new 6700k from Aliexpress. It's likely something pulled out of a dead system and then tested.

I'd just save for a better PC.

no one will buy 6600k in 2020

3300x new is just $120 +$80 mobo
