So, I've been thinking about upgrading my I5 2500k for an i7 2600k, and dropping some faster ram in my motherboard.
Having an I7 over an I5 seems to matter more in modern games than it used to.
Average frame rates are about the same between them but minimum framerates are significantly higher than with an I5.
And to be honest, that is what matters, I want to get rid of those big drops in FPS.
Some extra information.
Currently running my 2500k with an oc'd 980ti and I game on 1440P

I have a 2600k at my dad's house I'd get rid of. I've thought about listing it for shipping price and just getting rid of it for some anon who could use it

Why?

If your 2500k isn't dying right now, don't upgrade until there's actually a need to.
The difference between the 2500k and the latest 6500k is minimal when both are overclocked.

I spend my money where it matters, a.k.a. high end graphics card, the performance between Sandy and Skylake still isn't enough for me to warrant an upgrade

They don't, the 6700k is clocked higher

Why not 3rd gen core i7? The 2/3 gen mobos are compatible with after bios update.
