Hi, I want to build a gpu server and I want to be sure that my components are compatible.
The main idea is that it'll support more gtx titan x gpus.

Here are my components:
1. Motherboard: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1142646-REG/msi_lga2011_ddr4_x99a_sli.html
2. GPU: 4 x GTX Titan x.
3. CPU: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1060510-REG/intel_bx80646i74790k_core_i7_4790k_processor.html
4. HDD: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/903174-REG/western_digital_wd10ezex_1tb_wd_caviar_blue.html
5. RAM: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1121909-REG/crucial_bls2k8g4d240fsa_16gb_288pin_dimm_ddr4.html
6.Power supply: EVGA 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply


Thank you very much for help.

If you want four way sli do you need another motherboard.
The cpu is for/from another socket too.This motherboard you chose is socket 2011,the cpu socket 1150 which makes them not compatible.
These motherboards support quad sli,

look at the ones with the X99 chipset.
Look at this cpu for the build as well,
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80648i75930k
this one imo supports enough pcie lanes.These cpu's are compatible with the motherboard,

maybe that for what you want the server for the cpu not that important.
Also might want to look at these,

seem to be made for what you...

seem to be made for what you want altough i don't really know what you want with the server.Depends on what they would cost as well,but maybe these could do with a less expensive motherboard/cpu combo and looking at the otherwise four titans you want.

So if I choose this motherboard: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-gax99sli
this cpu: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80648i75930k then it'll be ok?
Also it means that I need to take ram ddr4 to be compatible with motherboard. Is this one http://pcpartpicker.com/part/crucial-memory-bls2k8g4d240fsa ok?
and this cooler: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rr212e20pkr2.

Motherboard is fine.
That cpu would do fine.

I would use other ram,with that speed a lower cas latency or higher speed.

i chose the Corsair ram for it's low profile heatspreaders so they won't intefere with the cpu cooler of choice.

The cooler is for stock speed fine,for overclocking would i get something beefier.

cheaper,

With four gpu's get a large enough case,one with at least 8 backplates so that the bottom gpu has enough clearance.

Big thx for the suggestions:

I was thinking about this case: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1201008-REG/corsair_cc_9011080_ww_carbide_series_quiet_600q.html is it good?

I don't know it and need to look at reviews,just do that yourself too.Looking at it do i find it very closed for a system with four gpu's,that's a lot of heat that needs to be dissipated.Looking at a few reviews am i not sure that four gpu's will fit regardless of the 8 expansion slots.There's alot going on at the top.
I would rather use a case with an open top and ability to mount fans there.I think i would rather look at cases like these,

One thing i forgot to mention is that with four of those gpu's you'll need to look at a psu of >1250watt like these,
