Im using a fx6300 gtx 970 16gb ram, should i get a i7 6700k i5 6600k or i5 6700k, money is some what flexable but i perfer cheaper side, i want to get steady 60fps on high on gta 5 and any upcoming games for a few years, mostly need 1080p 60fps high for all games, so what would be the best choice

Personally I'd be looking at an i7 7700k or Ryzen 1600X/1500X. The i5 with only 4 threads looks a little dated to me. Don't get me wrong its a great cpu (6600k or 7600k) but I just think Ryzen is a better choice at this price point and should last longer.

"i5 6700k" does not exists.

I'd go with a latest generation processor, like the i5 7600k. It would be perfect for your system.

For a gtx 970 ? Meh.
Only if he wants to upgrade later.
 
better keep your money until it's really necessary to upgrade it ( example: u're upgrading to 1080 ti )
but, if u keep insisting, ryzen is a better choice if u want to go into a more workstation build since it had more cores, other than that, i'll prefer i7 7700k
