Question Time for an cpu upgrade?

[kekohofficial]

Heres my build:
i7 6700(Non-K) 3.4GHz
Asus H170 Gaming Mobo
MSI GTX 1080TI
16GB of Ram
1TB SSD
1TB HDD

Explanation:
my CPU is the oldest thing I have in this build and when I play games I feel it is limiting my GPU a lot, I run wallpaper engine and sometimes it can go up to 100% in usage, I feel like its really bottlenecking my GPU and limiting its performance as sometimes I lag playing games like GTA... And if I need an upgrade what should I get upgraded for cpu. Any suggestions

I do not think it would be an issue with any modern I7 which your 6700 is. At higher resolutions there is less gap but there is if you are still on 1080P https://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/2260?vs=2258

Meaningful upgrade would be 8700K and up, would mean new board as well. Afraid you would be disappointed with less.
