1) why are you going to x99? do you have a job that requires you to do video editing or 3d rendering every day?

 

2) just look at the features of each board, and pick the one that looks best in your system and has the features you want. ASUS, EVGA, MSI are all good brands

 

3) the waterblock doesnt need to be changed, but if you DO go x99, the motherboards already have the backplate built in, so you just need to remove your AMD backplate and directly screw the waterblock into your new motherboard (using the appropriate mounting screws of course, see your waterblock instruction manual)
