What's your budget?

1. To take advantage of a high-end gpu such as a gtx 970, an i5 would be ideal. But, a fx 6300 or an i3 would be able to do a fine enough job if you're on a tight budget.
2. For RAM, the minimum for gaming is 8GB.
3. The mobo compatibility would be with the cpu, not with the gpu.

You would definitely need a cpu for your new x99 mobo. You can still game on the integrated graphics of an i7-5820k.

If you could return the mobo and ddr4 ram, do that. Unless you're doing several intensive tasks on a tight deadline and budget is not an issue, you would not need such powerfull cpu. DDR4 ram advantages over ddr3 doesn't justify the premium you pay for it, and the $ saved can be used for other components where performance will be more noticeable.

X99 does not have intergrated graphics... Hence no graphic ports on the mobo...
