Planning to buy the i7 6700k and cool it with either the EK Predator 240 AIO Expandable, EK Predator 360 AIO Expandable or the Corsair Hydro Series H100i v2 Extreme.

The shop I was looking at is setting it for $509 (also where I will be getting all my other parts).

This processor came out in Q3'15 and I was wondering will it ever get close to what ark.intel.com recommends it for? ($339 - $350)

It's $314 at Newegg for me, I'd bet the intel site assumes USD

i7 4790k | MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition | G.Skill Ripjaws X 16 GB | Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB | 2x Seagate Barracuda 2TB | MSI GTX 970 Twin Frozr V | Fractal Design R4 | EVGA 650W

A gaming PC for your budget: $800 - $1000 - $1500 - $1800 - $2600 - $9001

if you hold your breath for an Intel CPU to drop in price you will pass out, just sayin. Find tyhe cheapest price at the moment and get it.

Ryzen 7 5800X3D , Arctic Liquid Freezer  III , Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite , Corsair Vengeance 32GB , Gigabyte RTX 5070Ti ,  WD SN850 / MP44L

Corsair RM 850x, LIAN LI Lancool 207

That's 350 USD, not AUD. Please understand, not every dollar was created equal.
