Updating build, please critique
I currently don't have a cpu cooler, a mother board, ram or a cpu.

So far I'm getting the 5820k and 16gb of crucial ddr4 memory.
I'm debating whether to get the asrock x99 professional
Or
The asrock fatal1ty X99X.

For cpu cooler I'm not sure if I should get an AIO like the kraken x61 or the corsair h110 or if I should add another 280mm rad and a cpu block onto my previous existing GPU only loop. In my GPU LOOP I have x2 R9 290x's, a d5 pump, 360mm rad and a swiftech res. Please let me know what you think I should do.

SUGESTIONS FOR DIFFERENT MOTHERBOARDS ARE APPRECIATED. Please include a reason with your recommendation. My budget for this is at max $1100. Thanks for your time!

I'm going to be running a lot of VM 's on it and I'm doing some major video editing and I might also use it for some folding

What are you doing with this build? Unless it's heavy 3D rendering, I'd suggest a Z97+i7/i5 combo for your budget.
