I would say go with an Intel i5 4690K. i7 Performs better but not on games. Also X99 is not a much improvement as of current graphs and with the saved money u could easily afford a 780Ti or a 295X2. It would perform a lot better than a higher end CPU. Choice is yours.

Do you think is better to buy 4x4 or 8x2 ram sticks?

I was thinking that too but i want something will last for like 3 or 4 years. Thanks for the idea.

If you can find an 8x2 kit, I think that's fine, but IMO 2 sticks in X99 looks stupid.

 

If you don't care about looks a horrible amount, go ahead and go 8x2
