Hello i'm trying to upgrade my cpu and motherboard.

Intel® Core™ i7-6700K Processor
(8M Cache, up to 4.20 GHz)

ASRock Z170M Extreme4 LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

If anyone could tell me other options that I would be interested in, I'm all ears.

Yes they are compatible, what is you budget for the MBO?

If you're planning to build in a microATX case the ASRock Z170M Extreme4 is a decent choice. Could look for other ATX-size motherboards if you're building in a mid tower ATX though.

If i get these upgrades will they be better than my cpu and motherboard now?:

AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 955 Processor, 3200 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
Asus m4a79xtd

Im also looking for a motherboard that can SLI and is about the same size as my motherboard that I have now, if not smaller.

Ofcourse It's going to be better. Not just by a bit, It's going to better by a large margin.

That motherboard is ATX, whilst the Z170M Extreme4 you had listed above is smaller (microATX).

For ATX size, take a look at this motherboard which is quite a beast:
