Would X99 be okay for novice PC People like me who do not overclock or stuff like that? Not only do I want gaming, I also want durability.

Socket 1150 with an H97 board will be better suited for you.

[Dabasepc]

you don't need x99 for gaming. H97/Z97 is fine. just go with i5-4690k.

[Virtual01]

No reason to go X99 unless you are running 3 GPUs or need the CPU power. Also 850W is overboard.

what's your budget? do you need peripherals?

Go with the xeon build mrspeed made. Although, if you don't mind amd, you can get a very powerful 390x instead of the 980ti, with more ram for cheaper.
