http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-sabertoothx79 is a good board for that chip.

Are you sure this CPU is compatible with the X79 Chipset? Those consumer boards

Okay thanks and what about an OS?

Andrew Buck · Jun 27, 2014

It depends, what are you doing? A server OS like Windows 2008 Server is good, but if you are using it more as well, windows 8.1 professional does the job.

slaglebagle · Jun 27, 2014

And also a Graphics card and case if you guys have anything to recommend.

slaglebagle · Jun 27, 2014

Okay windows 8/1 pro will work and, This will be used to my dedicated game servers.

Andrew Buck · Jun 27, 2014

Alright, the GPU doesn't need to be that powerful, a GTX 750 would work fine.

slaglebagle · Jun 27, 2014

Would i have to update my BIOS for on one of those X79 boards for the CPU to work?

Andrew Buck · Jun 27, 2014

No, but it wouldn't hurt.

slaglebagle · Jun 27, 2014

Alright and will it be possible for me to access the Server from a different computer using Remote Desktop Connection?

Andrew Buck · Jun 27, 2014

Probably, but I have not had any success with RDC. Try some VNC program.

slaglebagle · Jun 28, 2014

Could you recommend a VNC program to me.

Andrew Buck · Jun 28, 2014

Try remotepc.com
