So Ive been looking at the x79 boards and for some reason i find the layout and look is much nicer then the z77, z87 boards. I would like to build a tower with the EVGA X79 classified lga2011 but with something like an i5 3570k. Would this work ??? would it be a waste of money ect. let me know what you guys think

That would not work. The sockets are not the same. If you are going strictly for looks, I found a ASRock Fatal1ty H87 Performance LGA 1150 on Newegg that would be great with a new Intel Core i5-4670K. Any reason you want to stick with a 3570k? Haswell is the newest edition to the intel family, and is better.
