Help problem solving PC that won't boot please

I would prefer the lower profile Noctua cooler, but now I have worked out how to use the fan clips properly (and won't have the 980 in the way), it seems a shame to bin the perfectly usable and working Alepfohn. I haven't ordered yet so will have a think on it a bit more.

I have a tube of Arctic thermal paste left over from a fix of a friends overheating PC last year.
 
Well I have changed my mind again, I downloaded the MSI User Guide and while trying to visualize everything I think the small cooler will be better if I ever have to reach for the DIMMs or the CPU power sockets. It's the height of the heatsink (3 times higher than the Noctua) in the Alpenfohn as well as the awkward sideways mounted fan that makes life awkward.
So I am going ahead and ordering what is in effect your last basket posted.
 
@Plec - I have a working PC now :)
The new motherboard and CPU works a treat and the new cooler and no graphics card make it so much easier for me to sort out the various wiring.
I did test the 980Ti and it works fine but have gone back to on board graphics.
So it looks like it was the Asus X99 that was faulty.
Thanks for all your help.
