Hi, I was selecting components for my new PC, I have a query, most of my friends own a Processor+Motherboard combo of LGA 1150 type. I want to know, which one is better type: LGA 1150 Type or LGA 2011 Type, and in which terms of usage should I consider going for LGA 2011 Type combo.
Thank You.
Thank You.

LGA 2011 is more for professionals and rich people as it can support CPUs like the i7 4930k (6 cores, 12 threads, over $500). LGA 1150 is more for gaming as it supports all Haswell CPUs up to the i7 4770k (the better ones are only supported by LGA 2011).
Generally if you don't have $3000 to use on the PC, you should go for LGA 1150.

In terms of the uArch, LGA1150 is currently better as it is Haswell based while LGA2011 is sitting on Ivy Bridge-E. Haswell-E will be out soon.
OP, LGA2011 has a few benefits. It has more cores (up to 6 currently), more memory channels and capacity (quad channel RAM support with up to 196GB normally) and more PCIe lanes (normally has support for at least 2 x16 PCIe 3.0 lanes).
However it is a generation behind uArch wise and also costs at least 30-50% more depending on a lot of factors. As well, games do not benefit from the extra memory bandwidth/capacity or cores currently so as of right now it is normally best for one of two people: 1. someone who games and does rendering or some other professional workstation related work or 2. someone who has lots of extra money to spend and wants the biggest ePeen.
I personally stick with LGA1150 (or whatever the next one will be) because the benefits do not outweight the price difference for me. If you plan to mostly game and do normal stuff, get something like SR-71 described.

Wow, thats nice, because I'm a gaming enthusiast and I am also a 3D and VFx Artist(Usually all my work lies in 3DS Max, Maya, Zbrush, Mudbox, Fusion etc)
And honestly, I was looking for a configuration that can enhance my gaming as well as work experience.

Seeing as you unselected my answer I would have expected you to actually explain the difference rather than just post links without saying anything (I tried to answer the question, you didn't). At least jimmysmitty managed to answer this coherently.

LGA 2011 uses SB-E and IB-E i7s and Xeons. They have no integrated graphics and consume a lot of power. That platform is meant for professional work and 3-way or 4-way SLI / crossfire GPU configurations.I'm planning to install 2-way crossfire setup with 2 Sapphire TRI-X OC R9 290x

So basically, since i'm a 3D professional and a gamer as well, then I should supposedly go for LGA 2011 Type setup?In your case, yes. For motherboards, I prefer Asus myself. They range from $200 to $500 for the board. You don't need the top of the line but I would at least go with the middle of the pack like say the Asus Sabertooth X79:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
For memory, with a setup like this I would go 32GB and make sure to get a kit like a Corsair Dominator/Vengeance kit or G.Skill kits (G.Skill has way too many to list really).
Another thing to consider, both SR-71 and I will agree on, is a good PSU. Personally I would not go with anything lower than a Seasonic Platinum or Corsair AX series PSUs as they will have the best quality parts in them. You will probably want at least a 860w or higher if you are doing CFX 290X for a setup.
Looks like SR-71 ninjaed me........

Yeah, I'm considering 1050W Seasonic PSU
