Is Skylake worth the extra money?

I'm building my first PC this December, and I'm pretty happy with my build (http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/HmW2sY). I'm now wondering if it's worth getting new a Skylake CPU and DDR4 RAM (rather than Haswell and DDR3), but as a consequence have to downgrade my GPU to something like a 750ti to compensate for the extra money? The build is primarily for gaming, very light editing and fairly light rendering. Bear in mind I am willing to wait some time and upgrade the GPU later in 2016 if I'm going to get a lot extra out of Skylake and DDR4.
