2nd generation i7 vs 6th generation i3

[boblook]

So I'm trying to decide between my current i7-2700k and an i3-6100 because I want to upgrade my motherboard from a LGA1155 socket to a LGA1151. Would my computer be faster, or can anyone recommend me a processor under $200 that would be faster?

I guess the IPC difference was a little bigger than I expected, regardless my stance remains the same.
Simple solution.
Also for the same cost as a 7600k build you can get an i7 7700 for cheaper anyway which performs better.

i5 7600k @4.7GHz: 93.7, 103, 145.7 Total cost: $462
i7 2600k @ 4.7GHz: 82.3, 94, 131.7 Total cost: $75-100 to replace motherboard.
