Cassette is probably fine then with that little mileage on. If it's obvious visually that the front is worn I'd do it as soon as you can to not put premature wear on the chain. You could just get chainrings instead of the whole chainset, but the amount they cost, it usually makes sense to change the whole chainset.

I'd keep an eye out for a 6800 Ultegra one on eBay. They're on there all the time as there's loads of people chasing the latest and greatest... ie R8000 and selling off perfectly good previous generation components cheap. When I looked into it a while ago most 105 was going for similar prices to Ultegra.
