hands down best processor for gaming is the i7 8700k if you're gonna upgrade its pointless to get a i7 7700k as decent processor but beat out by a good margin by 8700k and also is on a dead chipset. If you have to get a new mobo you might as well go with a z370 as it's still current. As far as gaming goes you won't honestly notice a difference between current gen i5 and i7 In only gaming i7 comes in when doing content creation of other workloads.

I had a i5 6400 and started to bottleneck on newer games like Rainbow Six Siege and CoD:WW2.

So I definitely support upgrading, need to know your whole system specs and budget to further help though.
