E5 2670. About 70ish on Ebay and has 8 cores with 16 threads. You can use any X79 motherboard too. 

My Work in Progress PC http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/522048-xeon-build/ <-- That PC was built but never booted:(

Xeon E3 1231-V3/MSI H81M-P33/16GB 1600MHz RAM/250~500GB SSD

 

If you want more RAM but dont want to spend $100+ for a Z97 go for a B85 Chipset just look for the CPU Compatibility and See if the Xeon E3 1231-V3 is Supported.
