If you already own a Skylake motherboard then the upgrade to 6700k is a no brainer. I love Ryzen but its not worth spending the money to replace your motherboard when you have a platform that will game just as well if not better. Also you would want to replace your memory if you go Ryzen, 2133 is too slow, has a huge affect on performance.
