Hello everyone, I am building a computer right now because the parts i have added to an old one have not been so great. However I am still learning a lot about computers and am not too smart with server related parts.

Things that I have:

Graphics card: Quadro 6000
http://www.nvidia.com/object/product-quadro-6000-us.html

Computer box: HP xw4600 workstation
http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c01184908

Processor: Access to Broadwell xenon v4 processors(E5-2673v4)
http://ark.intel.com/products/family/91287/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E5-v4-Family#@All

RAM: Access to ECC- DDR4 RAM
(not 100% sure of the different types, but can ask for more info if needed)

Motherboard: ???(THIS IS WHAT I NEED)

Hard Drive: OCZ Deneva SSD 224gb
http://www.deepdiscountservers.com/ocz-deneva-dencste351m11-0240-240gb-enterprise-sata-iii-6gb-s-mlc-ssd-3-5.html

PSU: Thermaltake Smart 600W
http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00002729

In the end what i really need to know is what motherboard will fit my pc and be compatible with everything and what, if needed, needs to be changed to make it all work. If its not too much to ask a motherboard with at least 24GB of RAM compatible but if not that much then the highest possible. If anymore info needs to be presented just ask as i really want to get this thing build as soon as i can!


-Thanks, Nick :D

Not so much quantity as it is quality. Those Thermaltake units are very low on the PSU tier scale and are known to fail. The EVGA G2s are much higher quality units. I like Phanteks cases and the P400S is very high quality for not a lot of money.

That motherboard should accept all CPUs for that socket - Xeons included. The only exception with Xeons right now is that socket 1151 Xeon CPUs use the C302 chipset in order to work properly and not the standard Z170. Most motherboards running socket 2011-3 do not need a separate...

Looks like you need a socket LGA-2011 motherboard for that type of CPU but you would have to verify that the CPU fits that socket. So something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132516

I would suggest getting a new case and PSU. Upgrading the motherboard you might not be able to use it with your case, and that PSU is trash. I would suggest replacing with this:

- Phanteks P400S: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811854030
- EVGA Supernova G2 550W: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1N83U90893

I like the mobo and the case, running it by my dad because he's the one that has the parts but does a 50W difference make a whole lot?
Edit*: the processor is an E5-2673v4, not an i7 like the mobo is for

Most motherboards running socket 2011-3 do not need a separate socket for Xeons. You would have to verify on the CPU compatibility list but I think it should work.
