Which Chipset to choose for a Workstations Rig?

[kicoverz]

I am confused between getting an
Asus P9x79 LE (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131855&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&PageSize=10&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&IsFeedbackTab=true#scrollFullInfo)

and a

GIGABYTE GA-X79S-UP5-WIFI (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128563&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&PageSize=10&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&IsFeedbackTab=true#scrollFullInfo)

I am mostly concerned with the chip set, the Gigabyte has a C606 chipset whereas the Asus has a X79 one.

If I am building a 3D Production and Rendering workstation, which chipset should I go for, and does it really make a difference, and how ?

I heard that the C606 chip set is better for workstations , is that true, and why ?

Hi,
Some details here:

For rendering and 3D I don't think you need the SAS ports.

Hmm, so in short, the C606 chipset is best for server PCU . But in my case, I am using an i7 , so since the Asus is cheaper and i wont be needing a chipset for servers, i should just go with the Asus Mb ?
And the whole Better for 3d workstations rumor is not that accurate, correct ?
here's my desired build:

Processor i7 3930K 
VGA nVIDIA Quadro 4000K
mobo GA-X79S-UP5-WIFI
HD 2TB ST2000DM001 7200RPM S-ATA III 64MB
RAM CORSAIR Vengeance 32GB (4 x 8GB)
SSD Kingston HyperX 3K SH103S3/120G 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
PSU XFX ProSeries P1-1050-BEFX 1050W Modular PSU
CASE Cooler Master CM Storm Trooper SGC-5000-KKN1 Full Tower ATX
CPU FAN ThermalTake CLP0575 FrioOCK for LGA2011

I'd choose the X79 chipset.
