i currently have an a10-6800k with asus a88am-a motherboard and an msi 1060 6gb with 16gb of ram. i am experiencing what i think is bottlenecking (large frame drops) i was thinking about making these changes to to computer (link down below) would those parts bottleneck with the msi 1060 6gb GPU i am really looking for the max potential

those are the upgrades i am hoping to make for the best performance from my GPU

Those upgrades are overkill for that GPU, the i5-6600k can take on any game. I wouldn't connect 6700k with a 1060, they're in a different class.
If you plan to get a 1070/1080 in the future, an i7-6700k might help you.

@lakimens, Agreed, A i5-6600K would be a better choice.

Overclocking.

You could get a 6700k, but if primarily gaming, a 6600k would be a much better choice as you would save a lot of money and the gaming performance is practically the exact same. (If you clock the 6600k to the same as the 6700k the performance is the same)

The 6700k would only help in tasks that take advantage of the extra threads such as rendering

see the thing is i may upgrade to a 1070 or 1080 is the near future and i do a lot of rendering is programs such as c4d and after effects so thats what i was wondering if ti is a possibility to go with the 6700k and still get great performance (better than the a10 6800k)

Both of them are much better then the A10 but for any rendering then yes the i7-6700K would be a better choice over the i5. Even if you did upgrade to a 1070 or 1080 the i5 would be sufficient gaming wise.
