An upgrade to the i5 4690K or i5 6600K will yield marginal performance gains. I'd say upgrade to the i7 (and you won't need to change out the motherboard and RAM either).

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Spoiler

CPU: Intel Core i7 4790K - 4.5 GHz | Motherboard: ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO | RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3 | SSD: Samsung 850 EVO - 500GB | GPU: MSI GTX 980 Ti Gaming 6GB | PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2 | Case: NZXT Phantom 530 | Cooling: CRYORIG R1 Ultimate | Monitor: ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q | Peripherals: Corsair Vengeance K70 and Razer DeathAdder

The performance gain is marginal, but upgrading to skylake also brings along new motherboard features like M.2 support and USB 3.1.  Also, the BIOS on new mobos are a bit better, like on the MSI M5 Z170

Get the 3770K. The cost after you sell your 3570K will be low, and the improvement big. 30% improvement in multithreaded, more cache and less stuttering.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT 16GB GDDR6 Motherboard: MSI PRESTIGE X570 CREATION
AIO: Corsair H150i Pro RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 32GB 3600MHz DDR4 Case: Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic PSU: Corsair RM850x White

If you can live with your current performance, then I'd wait for Kaby and Zen, which should shake up the market.

I did a similar upgrade, went from i5-3470 to e3-1270v2 (basically i7-3770 without integrated gpu), can't really feel the improvement in gaming but i haven't looked at the FPS before and after.. i did it to able to run a few VMs more smoothly.

If it's just for gaming i'd avoid upgrading for at least another year.
