i've been looking to upgrade my pc but I want to know what cpu's are compatible with my motherboard, I am currently looking more towards the i7 so I currently have a i5-6400 and my motherboard is a Lenovo Skybay and was wondering if the i7-6700k/i7-6700 was compatible or whether getting a new motherboard for the i7-7700k is worth it Thanks

Yes, the i7 6700K is 100% compatible with your motherboard, you are using the i5-6400 and they both use the same FCLGA1151 socket. Now for the i7 7700K you need to update your bios but I won't recommend you to do that so stick with the i7 6700K
