It's very difficult to say. With DX12 incoming, we may see a shift in the way the CPU works in gaming. You will have to wait and see. You'll definitely gain FPS by upgrading to a 6700K when the Titanium edition Pascal is released, which is totally up to you. I personally think it is, but only because of the additional benefits Skylake brings, such as an additional x4 lane, m.2 support, USB type C/3.1, PCI-e generation 3, etc. If these mean anything to you, alongside the extra frame rates you'll gain, it will be worth it, especially with a GPU like that. If rumours are to be true, personally I don't see a point in getting a Titanium edition Pascal at 1440p unless you absolutely have to have the best of the best and demand the utmost out of every game. If that is the case, you'd also consider upgrading your CPU, or pushing it to 4.8Ghz, if it can. To me, as chintzy as this sounds, a good system is a balanced system. It doesn't make sense to have a £300 monitor with a £700 graphics card and 4-year old CPU and motherboard with 8GB of RAM. This is a common system to see. I just prefer the concept of a well-rounded setup. I don't know why exactly since it's not always critical.Sure! Since I'm getting a 1440p monitor the differences might be so small a system upgrade isn't warranted, at least that's my hope... To out it another way, would you put a high end Pascal in my system?
In my opinion, a 2600K at 4.6-4.8Ghz with a Pascal x80 will be a sound setup at 1440p, but you'd definitely benefit by upgrading to a 5820K or 6700K.
