I just found a branded dual socket MOBO for $90 on eBay, I know dual CPUs bring a lot of problems, don't scale well etc. and that those boards don't support overclocking.. but I am kinda feeling the geek in me screaming DUAL XEONS. That would be $180 for dual gloriness, I should calm down.
 
On a more serious note tho, I still think I'll go for it if I find a good deal on a good motherboard and maybe update to the 9th gen or even the 10th gen later (or to whatever AMD brings in that time).
 
Also 3770 single core performance sounds good enough to me, and better than 6700 multithreaded sounds even better.
 
LAST UPDATE: I just found out people in my contry are quite stupid and give away branded  X58 boards with SATA III and USB 3.0 for like $110 max and even that's more than what it actually usually sells, so I am gonna go for that and a X5670. Getting it to possibly to 4.2+GHz (I read that is fairly easy and most of these chips usually go up to 4.4GHz) and pairing it with a 1070/80, that should be absolutely no bottleneck... thanks all of you and sorry for me being the stupid one and not looking to the local market first.

I have messaged him, might make me do that if the reasons are any good.

I am only counting Buy It Now prices, I am not really interested in autions to be fair.
