Yes, if you have the money. Not really needed though since the 4790k is good itself.

is there a reason of upgrading? 

id suggest only upgrading if your cpu is like semi-dead, and not performing well, etc..

if it's not serving your needs than yeah.. upgrade...

but if it's just enough for your daily uses of it, then just dont bother upgrading, as u wont really benefit from it..

and you could use the extra money for more games or idk..

If the performance is still there I don't see a reason to upgrade. You have an i7 with a very good overclock so I would just stick with what you have unless you really need the extra performance. I mean in a lot of cases you will gpu limited anyways so unless you are going for 1080p super high frame rate you likely won't see much of a difference. If you need 6 cores for some reason then I could see a good reason to upgrade.

If you're only gaming, I suggest you do not upgrade that CPU considering how marginal your performance improvements will be.

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

I wouldn't you would have to dump your motherboard ram and cpu because DDR4 CPUS need fancy RAM and that board doesn't currently support DDR4. Also your sound card has been known to act up when used on certain newer lga-1151 boards.

I think it does something weird with memory clock kind of like how old games needed a specific clock speed to run. Why do you use a sound card?
