Looking at the following.
6700K
Gigabyte Z170 Gaming-5
32GB DDR4-2600
Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 or Arc XL or another Raven RV02E
Noctua NH-12US or Corsair H100
1TB Evo 850 (tide me over until I get a 512GB M.2 NVMe SSD)
Reuse WD 1TB, 2TB, 4TB HDDs, maybe also the Crucial M5.480GB
Reuse old GTX 970
Reuse old BD drive
Still hitting usd1900 easily though once I add Win10 into the mix and buy a cheap-ass graphics card to put in the 2600K (which will still have at least one 256gb SSD in it).
And then what do I do with the 2600K in my Raven case? I guess I could use it as a backup work computer.

Oops, I just found out that my daughter's school fees are doubling since now she's doing morning and afternoon sessions.
Perhaps I can wait until Kaby Lake, or even Cannonlake.

And I can't pay by credit card to get cashback.

The trick, I think you'll find, is getting cashback without paying by credit card. Master that, and the world is your oyster.

Fuck it, you only process photos in LR once and a faster processor will save me time that I can spend with my kids. Plus birthday present etc. 6700k here we come.

Daaaamn, that'll be sweet! 
You're going to need another 970, too. It's all about that... balance

Nah. I'm more of a Tree Pose type of person.
Final config:
6700K
Gigabyte Z170 Gaming-5
32GB DDR4-2400 (because 2666 would mean waiting a week for stock, and fuck that)
Fractal Design Arc Midi R2
Noctua NH-12US
1TB Evo 850
Added a BD drive since I can't be fucked to look for the old 5.25" bay covers from my older computers and as I might want the BD drive working in my 2600K, which once fully reformatted is going to sit in my office (with a 750Ti in place of my 970) and be my work computer while my poor W520 goes in for repair.
