I was planning to have a build with a Intel Xeon E3 1230 C3 with a Asus Maximus VI Gene. I was wondering because on some websites it says it only supports i3, i5, i7 etc. Thanks.


(Also, would a 212 Plus fit on there, with A-Data 1866mhz RAM)
 
Solution
It is supported:

As for the ram, as long as it's not this one:
A+Data+XPG+Plus+v2.0+Series+1866Mhz+Triple+Channel+6GB+%28DDR3+1866%2B%29-348236.jpg

How about a Asus Z97-A ATX LGA1150? I was trying to access but it keeps crashing on my PC.

It stops loading and says Firefox/Chrome has stopped working.

If you're having problems after the cpu change try with a fresh windows install. You should not be having any problems with a cpu swap, but sometimes its easier to reinstall windows than finding the problem.
