This maybe a dumb questions since you said that you are just starting server hosting but is this going to be in a rack mounted case or tower case?

I’m a fan of supermicro motherboards. I work with these motherboards all day and I think the X10DRI would be a great fit. I know this motherboard can fit in a 4U chassis from supermicro as that’s how we use it at my data center  but it may fit in a large desktop case.

that board only works with Xeon E5-2600 v3 family and the v2 is a cheaper CPU   or it only says for v3

Oh gosh, yes you’re right, sorry miss read that. The X9DRi-F will work with your 2630-v2. I have also worked with this board and it is good.
