[SOLVED] Upgrade from an i5 6500 to an 7700k will it be any difference in VR?

I have 16 gb of memory and a 1060 and I'm thinking of getting an HTC VIVE. Am I going to get any benefits if I upgrade or not worth it? It will set me back a couple of mounths if I upgrade.Thank you so much!

40% single core improvement, and almost double a multi-core improvement as it goes from 4 cores / 4 threads to 4 cores / 8 threads.

Also 50% more power draw, so consider the existing PSU and cooler if upgrading.
