Motherboard Help

[All]

So I bought a Z97 motherboard back in the early summer months because it was on sale for a build that was supposed to be completed a month ago, but I hit hard times. I'll probably have this build done by November now, is it worth it go buy the new Z170 motherboard and get a a 6th generation processor to future proof my rig?

nope not at all, the performance increase is negligible at best

The use of the f-word on this forum is surprising and annoying. Not much difference, by the way.
