At the moment I have:

AMD Athlon X4 750k
R7 260x
430w PSU

Anything you would change on this upgrade? Will be using it for gaming, rendering, animation, everything really. Gaming mostly.

do you need X99?
personally, I would wait for Skylake and grab the i7 equivalent, get a Kraken X61 and then upgrade the 980 to a 980Ti if budget will allow and you also can get a 4K monitor.
Also PSU is way overkill and case is meh for that budget, grab a Fractal Design Define S and change the PSU to a seasonic 750W 80 gold unit. no need for anything more than that.
