You should have no problem dropping an i7-6700 in, or even an i5-6600 or i5-6500... although these last two aren't a big upgrade. In fact, depending on use, you might not see a major improvement with the i7.

As to the GPU, not knowing the current PSU brand, model, and rating... it will be difficult to know what it can support with your system. Without knowing that, all I can suggest is a GTX-1050, GTX-1050Ti, or RX-460 that is rated 75w power draw.
