Ok time to upgrade again, will be changing the Motherboard / Processor and Memory.

Considering The MSI X79A-GD45 Plus LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard 2011 with Itel 4820K processor and an additional 16Gig Ram (32 total) : Cost just over 800.00 Leaving me good for a few years

Considering The Asus Sabertooth x79 1150 with Intel 4770k processor and 4@8 32 Ram
Cost - 850.

I love the 2011 (even if its on the end of its journey), It leaves me room for the 4930k and boosting the Memory to 64 or higher). Leaving me good

Now the 1150 its newer but has its limits with memory capped and for the time its processor is capped.

I do gaming, some programming and starting to work on video editing.

Anywho your input would be greatful,

 
Solution
Really I would go the 1150 route and use Asus Maximus VI Hero with the 4770K. If you were building the rig predominately for Video editing then the LGA 2011 platform.


Most likely DDR4 as well on a special version of the LGA2011-3 that will be incompatible with the current one http://www.techpowerup.com/196158/intel-core-i7-haswell-e-to-launch-in-q3-2014.html
