No a 6700k needs to go in a 1151 socket motherboard.
You will need a 2011-3 socket processor to go in that board, a 5820k would be a good choice of CPU. It virtually has the same gaming performance as the 6700k (slightly better in some titles), but has 2 extra cores that come in handy for rendering etc and maybe with DX12 better gaming performance.
But it uses more power (95w TDP vs 140w TDP)

No, the Intel Core i7 6700k (Good Choice BTW) will not fit, it uses a LGA 1151 Socket. If I may suggest, you might try using PC Part Picker to compile a parts list as it auto check the compatibility for everything. Link to PC Part Picker : https://pcpartpicker.com/
