What is the best CPU for an GeForce GTX 1060 founders addition? I'm thinking of getting this card and currently don't know what CPU I should get. Right now the Intel i5-6500 was what I was planning on getting, will this work well with the GeForce GTX 1060 FE?

Yeah, you could get away with using a i3-6100 but it doesn't leave you much room to grow, i think the i5 is the best bet.
If you get a BCLK enabled z170 motherboard you can really squeeze a lot of power out of the 6400 or 6500

Yup!
Something like a EVGA z170 or an Asrock z170 would be great! EVGA boards are very attractive in regards to looks and are enthusiast oriented, so they have a lot of options but can be a little confusing. My Wife has a Z170 Stinger which is an EVGA ITX board.
Asrock has just as many options and probably a better set up UEFI, but honestly i can't stand their board looks right now.
