I was wondering is there a big difference between INTEL CORE I5-6400 (2.7GHZ) vs INTEL CORE I7-6700 (3.4GHZ) . i have the i5 Version and i wanna upgrade. will i feel a big difference? in gaming and etc.

You will NOT feel a big difference. Most games use only one processor thread. A few games can use more, but hardly any will benefit from the hyper-threading that is the major difference between an i5 and an i7 processor. My advice would be to save your money and not upgrade.
