Dual Xeon E5-1660, 64gb of RAM, GTX Titan X. (Motherboard not chosen yet)

Thinking of getting two used Xeon E5-1660 CPUs, along with a 64gb set of ECC RAM, and eventually a Titan X, all for my main computer, along with most likely a 10gbps network card for both my workstation and my NAS. Which will be used for everything I do, video editing, 3D modeling and rendering, gaming etc. Looking for some dual LGA2011 motherboard suggestions(needs to be a standard form factor). And any tips people might have on what other hardware I could run, or recommendations on cases I can use for an E-ATX/SSI CEB motherboard.

Well, first i really don't see why you would get a titan instead of a 980 ti...

You need E5-2xxx to be able to use a dual CPU MoBo.

So you do. ._. I totally didn't realize that. I guess it makes sense considering the E5-1660 is literally just an i7-3960x.

I guess I'm gonna go with E5-2667 CPUs if I can find them for a reasonable price. xD
