You would be permitted to appear in CA Final Old syllabus itself. The applicability of the new syllabus would be made public by ICAI very shortly. Institute will give a clear picture of number of attempts that would be permitted to existing students under Old syllabus and the conduct of first and subsequent exam from specified attempt under new syllabus. Choice may also be given to students to opt for new syllabus. All the clarification you will see from ICAI at the earliest. Hence, keep checking ICAI's website for more updates.
As far as change of syllabus, you must buy the latest material which is applicable for your particular attempt. In your case, since you are planning to appear in November 2016, the Finance Act 2015 would be applicable in both Direct and Indirect taxes paper. You may have to buy Book on Amendments, case laws, RTPs etc. All the updates applicable for your attempt will be hosted on Institute's website, keep checking for any information / details / updates of the same.
