That is a waste of money if you are just gaming. I would suggest you stick with socket 1150.

The motherboard is now listed on pcpartpicker.

 

In gaming the i7-5820K performs very close to the i7-5930K.

 

Since the case is blue/black, I would suggest the same color scheme for the motherboard.

 

As with X79, X99 supports 4-channel memory operation. It makes sense to get a 4x memory kit. A blue kit to match the case theme.

I would recommend getting the cheapest DDR4 you can get right now, in favor or replacing it later when DDR4 is more mature.
