i have came upon an i5 4690k cpu and i am wondering if it will be compatible with my dinosaur of a motherboard

NO, the 990fx motherboards are only capable of supporting AM3 or AM3+ CPUs from AMD.
No Intel manufactured CPUs will work in that motherboard.
You could use an FX cpu in that motherboard, although the ASRock 990FX Extreme3 seems to be a very low-end 990FX board with only 4+1 phase VRM design not even capable of properly supporting a stock 8350. Keep in mind, some modern motherboards will have 8 or more VRM phases
I would recommend upgrading to a newer CPU, motherboard, and ram.

Short answer: No.
Long answer: No.

Need a h97 or z97, latter if want to overclock but more expensive. Any old board you buy will be second hand unless you donate an organ.

Then how about helping with the learning process in a constructive way instead of slinging insults?
