Your motherboard and CPU are not going to work together, the X99 mobo is socket 2011-3 while the i7-4790 is socket 1150, I'll suggest working from this site https://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/ which can help avoid incompatibilities like that. The 2011-3 platform is a good choice for your needs but you'll need a CPU that'll fit it
