What would be the benefits of a x99 cpu I was looking at them today and was wondering like would they help with game performance any?

If you mean Haswell-E then IMO it's a waste of money for gaming.

If you get a high-end 6-core for a lot money it might add a couple percent FPS increase in a small number of games.

Depending on your budget, just stick with an i5-4690K or i7-4790K plus a good compatible motherboard like the Asus Z97-A.
