Posted July 26, 2016 Why do you have a 6700k with a B150.... it makes no sense. What games and settings? Can you post some HWMonitor pictures while lagging? Important stuff includes temps, usage and clocks, for both the GPU and CPU. Want to help researchers improve the lives on millions of people with just your computer?

Posted July 27, 2016 The point of a K series SKU is that they are unlocked and overclockable so if you want to OC it then you buy a motherboard with the "gaming" or "OCing" chipset, in this case Z170 motherboards for Skylake. Since your current motherboard still supports the chip you just can't overclock it. If you ever want to OC it you will need a new motherboard. The 6700k is already clocked very high from the factory so I would hold off on that personally and upgrade later unless you can sell the one you currently have or return it for a Z170 board. The best upgrade right now is a new GPU and you will want a 1070 or a 1080 if you afford to spend that much. Your current 960 can play all of your games just fine but you will be limited on how high you can push the resolution and the graphical settings, you should be able to have a great experience with games like WoW and Overwatch CSGO but games such as Witcher 3, GTA:5, will be struggling for FPS on anything more than mixture of medium-high 1080p graphical settings.

Thank you so much for the help. 970 too small of a jump to worry about upgrading. You need to turn settings down and use what you have and save for a 1080 (or whatever is out then when that time comes). Can any of this be returned? Can you return or trade in anything, like the motherboard, cpu, or gpu? You have way more cpu than you need right now, even at stock speeds its a beast but had you asked for advice originally you could've spent an extra $20-30 and bought a motherboard with the Z170 chipset which would have allowed you to overclock it or you could have chosen a cheaper more suitable cpu and applied some of that budget towards a better gpu. Now that you have the system built with mixed matched parts if you cannot return anything I would suggest just keeping what you have for now and jumping to a 1070 or 1080 when you get the money.... don't waste your money upgrading to anything less.
