At that pricepoint I'd suggest going X299 unless you're planning on LN2 overclocking or are going purely for visual appearance. The Formula board has a built in waterblock for the VRMs, if you aren't planning on using it I'd suggest the Extreme board.
Honestly buying a cheaper board would save you a lot of money that you could spend on a nice AIO or get started with a custom loop, and get a 9900KS or something special as opposed to a 9700K.I mean I might use it but idk. Is it worth cooling them or should they be all good being a high end board? I am thinking of just getting the Extreme

9900K then, what kind of cooler and case are you getting?I can't find the 9900ks that's why I went with the 9900k or 9700k
Was thinking of the Corsair Obsidian 1000D and for cooling a custom loop for my CPU. I will eventually cool my GPU as well but not yet9900K then, what kind of cooler and case are you getting?
Which one of two are you leaning on? Outside of LN2 or extreme cooling, the Extreme isn't going to provide any better performance than the formula. They just stack on all the extra feature to the Extreme. That said, the VRM design is better on the Extreme, so it will run a bit cooler and likely more efficient. The Hero, Code, and Formula all use the same VRM design. Formula does have build-in VRM block if you wanted to utilize it. That said, I'm using the XI Code myself, and very happy with it. Runs my 9900K at 5.1Ghz, though set to 5.0 for AVX. Your RAM choice will be fine with either selection.
