Right, but...
a 7700K would require a BIOS update, if you're up to that it's the best choice gaming-wise.
a 6700K is still a pretty nice option as well, you just wouldn't be able to overclock neither of those with that mobo.
What are you looking for with this upgrade?
Changing case or cooler won't improve your gaming performance...

You now have 8GB of RAM, you might double that to 16 with 2x8GB...
You can get yourself a 1070, but prices are absurdly have atm so i wouldn't buy a GPU now.
You can get a new SSD, more space to put some games or softwares in it...
Maybe a i7 6700 as well, it's up to you really...

Those would be my picks. Everything you currently have seems pretty solid.
 
for better performance for gaming and other stuffs.
my motherboard has 4 ram slots, so i still have 2 slots left.
why not i7 6700k or 7700k? it has a high clockspeed than the non k chips right?
