Do you need ECC? If not, you could keep an eye out for an H87/Z87 motherboard as well, as the Xeons of that time are still compatible with the consumer socket. I would expect those boards to be cheaper either way.

Xeon e5649@4.4 GHz on Asus Rampage II Extreme or Gigabyte x58a-OC (whatever I feel like to set up at a time) , 6x4 GB Kingston HyperX 1600, Gainward GTX 670 Phantom, Samsung 840 Evo 240 GB, BeQuiet L8 530W
