I am getting an ASUS X99 Deluxe II motherboard, but am stuck on deciding which processor to go with. I don't want to go broke but I do want to utilize as many of the "bells and whistles" of the X99 Deluxe as possible. This will be a gaming and audio mastering rig. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

(There are features on the X99 that I haven't been able to find on other motherboards. But I'm open to ideas/suggestions.)
