Thought this may be good for a GTX 1070 desktop. They do a 1060 version which is £50 cheaper.
I'm not sure how good MSI are, so feel free to post advice and past experinces

My friend has this exact pc and he does suffer from bottlenecking. It's not the worst but could defo be better.
You got one of those for 1080 please pal?

Glad I got the 4790k, seems like it might have a few years left in it yet!
Post or link please
Not a dumb question at all - theoretically possible as they share the same socket and many retail Skylake boards received a bios update supporting KabyLake. There's no guarantee that the motherboard will have been updated to feature Kaby Lake support though. I'd also put money on the fact that it's a locked motherboard so no overclocking.
You would be much better off adding an i7 6700k (definitely work) or 7700k (if a bios is supported) for the extra threads and higher clocks, if bottlenecking was occurring.
Link please ...
If I was in the market, I would get one and try to find an i7 6700k to add for top notch 1080p (up to 144hz) and solid 1440p gaming (even some 4k at lowered settings).

And a 1080ti please?
Thanks for taking the time to respond. I have a very similar set up myself at the moment and feel that the i5-6400 is holding it back slightly. Will do some research and price up that i7-6700k when I get home. Cheers again.
You're welcome mate - I'd say that the clock speeds on a 6400 are probably low enough to hold back anything over a gtx1060/970 or RX470/580 level on the fairly regular. A 6700k or even locked 6700 if it's significantly cheaper will be a bold upgrade.
People will assume against the 6700k because it's unlocked and your board is probably locked, but the 6700k has a significant clock speed boost on the 6700 regular which is important in trying to maximise on such a platform.
Good luck
