What is the best motherboard/cpu combo for heavy gaming/OC?
Last response: in Motherboards
I am currently building a personal heavy gaming rig, but over time so money is not a problem. The motherboard that I have in mind is an MSI Big Bang-XPower II one reason being it is SLI/Crossfire compatible. However this motherboard holds a LGA 2011 socket which many of you may know are not fond of overclockers and gamers, but are for heavy renderers, workstations, and etc.
Is there a LGA 2011 cpu that is good for my gaming/overclocking situation? If so or not, is there another motherboard/cpu combo that is better than what I have in mind.
P.S. I have a HAF X CoolerMaster Chassis so I can handle up to XL-ATX.

I wont recommend that motherboard, if you got the money get a ASUS Maximus IV for $430
or
Gigabyte X79-UD5
As for a CPU you need to get a K series CPU. What is your budget on the CPU?
