What Should I Upgrade

I have the i5 6500, 16 gb of ddr3 RAM and a GTX 960 and I have money to spend. What should I buy next to make my computer better for gaming and rendering videos?

I'm pretty sure the i7 6700k doesnt support ddr3, but thats a beast processor for rendering and gaming. And I would highly reccomend the gtx 1070. It's litterally a beast . That's what I have and it runs all triple a titles above 60fps at maxed settings.
