You'll need a new cpu/mobo/ram regardless (unless you went for 4th gen intel, that uses ddr3)
Amd is releasing a new CPU this year, called the zen, and they have said that it's single core performance is on par with skylake or better.
Since you already have a pretty competent chip, while intel is obviously better, i would wager you could stand to wait until their new chips arrive.
It may offer some competition to intel so prices might be a little better (currently intels prices only compete with themselves).
Also it will offer some more options.
But that's up to you. ^_^
ah okay cool I couldn't find anything on a new AMD chip but if they are bringing out one later this year or early next year then I will wait.. I find AMD is cheaper than intel and if it'll compete with skylake chips or close to then I'll wait to get the AMD for probably a hundred bucks less which that 100 should cover most of the cost of the new mobo. maybe the 1060 will go down a little in price to if i wait another 6 months to get that new mobo/cpu as well!
