the x99 is the actual Motherboard of your series. If you stick with asus the x99-a 2 or x99 deluxe 2 is a nice choice. This summer the i7-68XX and i7-6950X CPus released. or you go for skylake or wait for kobylake.

So the x99 will also fit my chipset right ? I dont think that it will fit because it has a slighty different socket :/

good idea :) thanks for the idea, do you think there are people still looking for this cpu when the motherboards are almost gone ?
