My cpu now maxes out on almost every game I play, so it's time for an upgrade. I have an i3-6100 and a gtx 1060-6gb. I've been thinking about upgrading to a 8400 but I don't know if it's worth getting with the new 10nm ice lake chips right around the corner. It's a lot of money to buy a new motherboard on top of the cpu. I just dont know if i should spend the money now or wait for the ice lake.
 


Honestly what you have is still fine for gaming cpu-wise.

i3 6100 overall is a decent CPU for gaming. I wouldn't stress it too much right now; save that money for later.
