Some tweaks will be needed, I've not specced in a while!

Would you be interested in going SLI in the future? - If so, a better PSU will be needed.
Would you be interested in overclocking? - If so the cooler is up to the job!
Do you also need a windows key? - Add W10.

As the budget allowed I've added a NVMe drive, however would probably switch that out and go for a X99 - 6800k instead and grab a 250GB SSD for the OS and applications.
