Hey all,

I have the Xeon E5-2699 CPU and I'm looking for a motherboard to best match my gaming needs.
Before you go all berserk, I did not buy this CPU especially for gaming.

I'm looking for a motherboard with as many USB connectors as possible, without compromising on high build quality. I am not aware of any special features which would interest me, however, I am open to ideas.
So.. I pretty much have 2 "main" companies in my country which I could choose from.
Gigabyte and Asus.
Honestly, the price isn't really an issue, but let's say 400$ is the top (since it would probably cost more in my country).
For reference - The Asus SABERTOOTH X99 costs about 450$ in my country, which is acceptable to me.

What could you recommend?

Thank you,
Kfir.
