As long as the socket is the same and the chip is supported by your motherboard, you are good. Are you playing games? Intel has the best CPU for gaming, but the worst onboard graphics on the planet. I would pursue a new Coffeelake/GPU1070/80 setup. Or, if you find your have to replace your motherboard along with your new chip, which is a downfall of upgrading the Intel platform, I would change to an AMD/Ryzen setup.
