It feels like my CPU (RAM, MB) is (are) too weak

[Ecky]

I've used many of their boards and never had a complaint. They used to be a division of Asus, but they separated into two companies a few years back.

I am thinking about getting the i7 6700k, but for that i might need to do some researches on how to overclock the cpu.

The i7 6700 is a fine chip, and I feel like it has more value, but overclocking is fun.

Never had any experience with overclocking. Ive turned up the gpu quite some times ye, but not with a cpu before.

Realistically you can expect to get 10-15% more performance from overclocking. If you feel that's worth $100, definitely go for the 6700k.

Whats with the lifespan of the CPU?

CPU's generally long outlive every other component. If you really abuse them, you can kill them, but I have overclocked chips from the late 90's still chugging along, while the PC is on its 2nd motherboard and 3rd power supply.
