Solid build, pretty much what I would have said too!

Also, I recently found this, because I was looking to upgrade to a 980 Ti

The price translates to approximately $850 AUD, which is a good few hundred less than the equivalent price from AU stores.

 

EDIT: For gaming, you could also consider the i7 4790K with a compatible motherboard (Z97, Intel socket 1150). The 4790K is often considered better for gaming, but the 6700K is more than enough, too.
