What are a couple higher end CPUs that will run on this board? Haven't built the machine yet, have an i7 2600K but may want a much better CPU for 3D content-creation (Autodesk Maya, 3DS Max, etc.).

With the 1155 socket the highest end cpu you could get would be a 3770k. If you already own the motherboard that would be the route to go in, if you are consider buying this motherboard and want more cpu performance you would most likely want to go with lga 2011 with a 3630K or a similar xeon.

This comparison shows not much performance advantage. I guess I'll just stick with the 2600K. Thanks for your reply.
