Are you asking of how much memory or which type of memory modules?

The first can only you decide depending of how much and which memory demanding programs you are using.

The second:
When it comes to memory's there are a few things to keep in mind:

1. Always install memory sticks from one memory kit. They are matched together.

2. Always make sure that the chosen memory's is indeed supported by the motherboard and its processor.
Different types of memory's, different frequencies, timings etc. the memory stick with the lowest speed will always set the speed for the rest of them.

3. Very important that the voltage of the memory are supported by the processor; meaning that a memory stick with to much voltage let say 1.7V when the processor spec. clearly says 1.5V - will damage and shorten the processors life span.

Use a memory configurator such as Corsair http://www.corsair.com/en-us/memory-finder
Kingston http://www.kingston.com/us/memory/search/options
G-Skill http://www.gskill.com/en/configurator
Etc.

But even then, som memory manufacturers recommend memory's with a little bit to high voltage, so make sure that the CPU manufacturer specs for that particular model of CPU is followed regarding the memory voltage.
Otherwise it will shortened the CPUs lifesan. Over Clocking is always a risk.

For ex. a processor of 2:a generation Intel Core i3, i5, or i7 of Sandy Bridge alt 3: generation "Ivy Bridge" etc. these should have 1,5V +/- 5%- memory's.

For DDR3 memory: 1.5 volts, plus or minus 5%
For DDR3L memory: 1.35 volts, plus or minus 5%
For DDR4 memory: 1.2 volts, plus or minus 5%

According to Asus Memory support for your particular motherboard http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA2011/STRIX_X99_GAMING/STRIX_X99_GAMING_memory_QVL0523.pdf?_ga=1.152326204.447355536.1467792447
Any of these will work.
